Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board member Jeffrey W. Coy cruises across the state in a beige Cadillac DeVille sedan. Taxpayers are paying the $650-a-month tab. Coy is one of five people on the seven-member gambling board who are leasing cars under an arrangement they approved for themselves in January.
The state-paid vehicles and mileage are perhaps the sweetest perks in addition to six-figure salaries for what are widely viewed as part-time jobs on the board, which will regulate slot machine gambling. Board members are paid $145,000 a year; the chairman gets an additional $5,000.
The board was created under a state law approved in July that authorizes slot machines at horse tracks and stand-alone casinos. It will issue licenses and regulate slots in the state. The board meets once a month and expects to start meeting twice a month later this year.
The salary for a gambling board member is double the pay for Pennsylvania's full-time state legislators and $22,500 more than the chairman of the full-time Nevada Gaming Control Board, which oversees the largest gambling industry in the nation.
