You're correct Mike. The gaming statute also says that local municipal endorsement is a required element when filing an application with Lottery to be the facility operator. As I understand, Butler will file on-time, without benefit of the 90-day extension that was granted. They will be the first to do so in Ford County. Others may request endorsement later - no one knows. Also, the City, County do not have to give an endorsement - that will be there decision for each applicant.
Also, you said
"I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but all this land buying is contingent on BHG getting the Lic. from the state?" That is incorrect. Butler Nat'l is purchasing the land from Bogner, regardless of whether they are the applicant selected by Lottery. They don't have an option on the land - they are buying it. In my opinion, that's a pretty solid statement of their intent and seriousness.
