Questions that might be useful to tax payers:

1) Should the Events Center be next to a for-profit privately managed, state owned casino?
2) If yes, why should the tax payers provide the cost of the $34 million dollar infrasturcture for the casino?
3) How should the cost be divided between the casino and the tax payers? (given that it is illegal to provide tax money for the casino at all)
4) If no, where should the Events Center go?
5) What basis do the candidates have for either yes or no?
6) Why should the tax payers be paying for years hundreds of thousands of dollars to a management group, Global Entertainment, that will have nothing to do?
7) Should a second events center (ie., Expo Center) be paid for by tax payers ? Under what legal basis would that second center be built?
8) Given the huge water usage planned for the casino, should 'green' architecture be required for the casino and for the Events Center?
9) What city/county rule allows the Chair of CFAB, G. Starks to remain a member but take a 'leave' due to ethical issues of his being a member of Boot Hill Gaming Inc.'s board when he decided the Events Center must be next to his casino applicate? There is no other example of this in city/county history of boards.
