Feira de Santana mayor proposes municipal lottery for public services
Feira de Santana mayor José Ronaldo de Carvalho sent the city council a bill proposing a municipal lottery, which could be run by the municipality or a private company under the finance department's supervision. The proposal would direct proceeds to health, education, public safety, social assistance, culture and sport. The council has not set a vote date, and the bill does not specify betting values or draw arrangements.
If approved, the proposal would create a municipal lottery market and assign its oversight to the city's finance department.
