2 - As public information, will your company, Butler National, supply name and percentage of ownership?

According to information that you can look up on the internet, Dodge City Resort & Gaming has listed.

Principals/Owners: Members of the Long Branch Gaming Company,LLC (15%), is the development manager; Ingenus Management and Consulting , LLC (15%), is a professional casino management company; Lawrence Steckline Revocable Trust (8%); BDW Investments, LLC (8%); Vosburgh Properties, LP (8%); Brad Murray Revocable Trust (4%); Carol Murray Revocable Trust (4%); John Murray (8%); Lies Investments LP, (8%); Dana Lies Revocable Trust (8%); Jay Maxwell Trust (6%); Kenneth Mimmack (2%), who is the CEO of Ingenus Management; Christopher Joseph (3%); Stephen Joseph (3%); Attorney Stephen Joseph (Wichita) is the President of applicant. David Wirshing, the COO of Ingenus, intends to acquire an equity interest in the applicant. Kathy J. Reiner, theCFO of Ingenus as well as the applicant's Treasure, will be aquiring a 2% equity interest in applicant within a few days.

It appears to me that Dodge City Resort & Gaming is being very up front with all information.

You stated," they're far from having local interest, or concerns". If that is the case, WHY, was the average person from Dodge City not given a chance to invest in this operation. I would have invested my Economic Stimulus Payment to make Dodge City grow.

1) Of course - the goal over all of the years has been to have the opportunity for a casino in Dodge City and it's been accomplished - there will be one. That is far more important to the growth of our tourism, entertainment and western heritage venues than whether it's Boot Hill Casino & Resort or Dodge City Resort & Casino. My personal effort was always centered on the benefit to our community and existing businesses - not who was going to manage the casino. That will never change!

I favor one because of my long working relationship and knowledge of their character and commitment to the community. They haven't made a lot of promises - they've made statements of what they intend to do and followed through. Evidenced mostly by buying their land.

2) First, they are not my company - I'm not employed by them and if they are successful in being chosen, I will not be involved with the Casino in any way. As far as I know, Butler National owns 100% of all assets that are involved with the casino proposal. On July 31 I believe they will provide exact detail of capital and debt financing of the casino project.

I don't mean this to sound wrong - but, both groups have been very upfront with ownership information. DCRG listed their owners above, and Butler listed themselves.

Re: local investment - I'd have invested too - but it's multi-millions of dollars and way out my range. However, Butler National is a public company and shares can be purchased by anyone. So, from that viewpoint I guess everyone can risk an investment in their proposal.
