Hard to make rational decisions with all that money being on the table for the 'fat' guys -- err, 'volunteers' as it were. Looking forward to the other groups making their move on the management of the state owned casino -- certain that the real 'big' boys will be diving into the $millions involved with it.

Boot Hill Gaming
Board of Directors
9/30/2006

“For Profit Corporation,” According to the filing made in The Kansas Secretary Of State Office.

Jeff Thorpe, President (Fidelity Bank)
Ed.Brancart, Secretary (District Court Judge; formerly, Ford County Attorney)
Kent Smoll, Treasure (Dodge City Commissioner and Mayor)

Kim Goodnight, (Chair, Ford County Commissioner)
Dan Harris, (Fidelity Bank)
Scott Chipman, (Fidelity Bank)
Greg Starks, (Coldwell Banker) Chairman, CFAB
Jim Coffin, (JAG Construction Co.)
Joe Bogner, (Western Beverage) Served on 1st. FAB Board

Since Senate Bill 66 passed there have been some changes to the Boot Hill Gaming board of directors.

Kim, Kent and Ed no longer sit on the board. They resigned right after SB 66 passed the senate. However, I find that it would be very nieve of anyone to suppose that the decisions that they make as commissioners and couty admin. are not influenced by passed involvement and contributions to Boot Hill gaming.
