Dumaguete lotto operator
eyeing reopening of outlet
BY RENE GENOVE

One of three pioneer lotto operators in Dumaguete yesterday said he will be forced to reopen his business, if the city government fails to permanently close the two other outlets which are allegedly operating without mayor's and business permits.

Enrique Medina said the city has not implemented the closure of the two lotto outlets at Colon Street and Daang Taytayan, Brgy. Calindagan, Dumaguete.

This violates Provincial Ordinance No. 4 prohibiting lotto outlets from operating without complying with business permit requirements, he said.
