On the last vote for location of the Event Center in Wright Park this was turned down by a majority of the voters by 73 percent. According to Mr. Greg Starks CFAB Chairman, The Heritage Development Group and Global Entertainment Corp. both express an opinion the Event Center should be located in Wright Park area.

What we have are the same people that sold the Voters on the idea of Wonderful Asphalt RaceTrack, instead of a Dirt track that All Racers wanted. Now they intend to build the Event Center in the Wright Park area again, regardless of what the Voters said.

Isn’t it odd that the people that want the Event Center, say the people voted for the Event Center and it must be built. But when you have 73 % of the voters saying NO, they say that vote does not count. It appears it’s a different ball game. You play by their rules or your out.

The time has come for the Voters of Ford County to stand up and say “Enough is Enough.”

A very important meeting will be held on Tuesday night February 27th.2007 in the north meeting room of the Civic Center. This meeting is open to the Public. We need everyone to attend.

Mr. Glen Kerbs, Ford County Counselor, has approved the Petition.

“Title: Proposition to repeal the Ford County, Kansas, one half percent (1/2%) county-wide retailer’s sales tax (hereinafter,the “tax”) approved at the special election on June 10, 1997”.

The Question to be submitted at the election.
“Shall the following be adopted? Shall the Ford County one half percent (1/2%) COUNTY-WIDE retailer’s sales tax approved at the special election on June 10, 1997, be repealed?”

The City\County can move ahead not listing to the Voter. The election must be held as soon as possible. If we can get the Voter to repeal the sales tax, they can not sell the Bonds. This will be your final chance. Please help.

Thank You.
