A new commission set up to conduct an evaluation of charity gaming operations in New Hampshire is being chaired by State Rep. Laurie Sanborn, who operates one of the casinos in the state.
Sanborn, chair of the House of Ways and Means Committee, was chosen to lead the 13-person commission that will look into gaming laws in the state, including whether charities are getting a fair share of the revenue.
However, her appointment has not been without its share of scrutiny.
Both Sanborn and her husband, Andy Sanborn, own and operate the Concord Casino, housed within The Draft Sports Bar on South Main Street, and this connection has raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest in overseeing the industry’s rules and regulations.
