| The following is an portion from the Hutch News...(In reference to the new casino proposal)...
Because the land sits outside the Dodge City limits, the Ford County Commission would have to endorse it, even though Dodge City would likely annex the land in order to run infrastructure to the casino.
That doesn't sit well with Dodge City Commissioner Rick Sowers.
"It's a little disconcerting to me," Sowers said. "I guess I was hopeful that any applicants would have come forward in that time frame and wouldn't have come forward so late."The casino application deadline has already been extended once, from Sept. 27 to Dec. 26th.
Any casino would require infrastructure from the city, Sowers said, and city officials have no idea what kind of infrastructure needs the new proposal would require.
Commissioner Rick Sowers...are you kidding me? Do you really think that after all the meetings with Boot Hill gaming and all the planning that has been done...that city officials have no idea what kind of infrastructure needs the new proposal would require? Give us all a break!!!
Could it be that Radio Rick and the other commissioners may feel abit threatened that their home town boys may have some competition?
