The chairman of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board created by Act 71 is Timothy "Tad" Decker, manager of the Cozen O'Connor law firm's offices in Philadelphia and Governor Edward G. Rendell's appointee to the board.

Timothy "Tad" Decker, former managing partner of the Philadelphia law firm Cozen O'Connor and founding, former Rendell-appointed chairman of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board involved in the licensing of the Commonwealth's 14 casino/racino gambling sites - including BethWorks - represented (or perhaps misrepresented) the Delaware Indian Tribe of Oklahoma to open a casino in the city of Easton's neighboring Forks Township on disputed land currently occupied by Binney & Smith's world headquarters and other private owners in the tribe's losing competition with the casino combine of Adelson, the law firm of Florio, Perrucci, Steinhardt, and Faber of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and the New York City real estate firm of Newmark & Company.

Tragically, the opponents fears have been realized - what with the casinos serving unlimited alcoholic drinks to gamblers, many of whom wear Huggies so that their addiction will not be disturbed by Nature's call - with Rendell's appointment of Timothy "Tad" Decker, the managing partner of the Cozy O'Connor law offices in Rendell's Philadelphia, to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Cozen O'Connor represents the Delaware-Lenni Lenape Native Americans in the duplicitous manner that "Casino" Jack Abramoff "represented" America's aboriginal people against the interests of Northampton County and corporations like Binney & Smith), and with Rendell's appointment of former Bucks County state representative Joe Conti as executive director of the LCB, igniting a firestorm of controversy.
