"The fact that he was being appointed as the director of an agency that deals with over $900 million in and out of the state Lottery, out of all of the agencies in the state of Arizona (that the governor could have named Bouie to head), that probably wouldn't have been my pick for an appointment for someone who has that financial background," she said.

Yee had been scheduled to meet with him this week to discuss other things that have gone on at the agency in the past year. Yee said that in his year on the job he had made some decisions that caused her to question his fitness for office.

Last year the agency was pushing legislation to allow Bouie to contract for marketing services without going through the normal bidding process. The provision got House approval but Yee said she killed it in the Senate as being inappropriate.

"That raised a concern that, only months on the job ... that the director's office was asking for removal of the transparency in the bidding process," Yee said.

Yee also wanted to ask him about reports that he has used Lottery proceeds to purchase a tent at the Phoenix Open and obtain a season suite at the Arizona Cardinals stadium. She said the governor's office confirmed both transactions.
