| I always get yelled at when I point it out -- but
The money from the casino for any one in Dodge will be for concrete, land, building it, etc. and a few low paying jobs. Then, money will be sucked out by the state and the out of town casino management company (both applicants are). The additional casino restaurants will kill other restaurants in town. The additional hotel rooms, etc., etc.
And with $4.00 plus gas in the mix now (gee, and we didn't plan on that -- duh), we won't need thousands of seats at the now three events centers being planned, including the mostly empty civic center. We will need 50 city employees added to run them, and a lot of property taxes going up and up to support the whole thing. So the city management guys love it -- more employees, more salary -- and the land sales guy loves it -- and the big concrete guy -- and the lawyers and the jails.
Sell your property now. The taxes will eat you up later. |
