Exactly!! The casino decision will be made by Lottery and the review committee in Topeka, BUT, local endorsement and involvement will weigh heavily on their decision. The problem is our City-County's inability to make a decision and always looking for a brighter rainbow.
I'm glad we have two casino projects to look at because their impact on local tax revenues (sales & property) and retail development should be considerably different.
