| SB66 | seems that a lot of people resigned that day
The day that SB66 passed, seems was the day that city commissioner Smoll and county commissioner Goodnight among others, quit the Boot Hill Gaming Board Inc.
But not Starks. He only quit after moving the events center to the property he brokers now. And only after much public outcry about his lack of ethics.
Clearly, with his name all over the (copyrighted? I'll post it otherwise.) drawing for the sell of property at "Mariah Center" (what a dumb name, huh, except for the Wind that will blow across the dusty land) and his personal gain possible only due to us paying for his infrastructure -- he still has no ethics and still has not resigned from CFAB. The new city commissioners must either be ignorant or lack ethics to put up with this.
Thanks for the Sumner County information. Interesting that they expect the casino to actually pay for their own costs, as required by state law. Gee, what a concept -- private companies NOT using huge amounts of tax money for their private benefit.
Seems like Dodge will be a great example, after the dust falls back, of how to jack a small town, take the money, use up the water, move the tourists out of town -- and no doubt, run.
I have an image of an under-used Events Center, empty lots all around, a couple of stores, and a very, very expensive infrastructure using up the last of our water. For what? Starks, Bogner, state of Kansas, and a casino management company. Dodge gets what? Huge, huge bills forever. And a couple of million dollars on the side. Oh, yes, almost forgot, massive increase in social problems, too.
What a painting. We should have a contest.  |
