That makes it easier to screw everybody that way. lol

Why Not Dodge!!

seems to cover one area of concern -- some will be makig much money than others -- always, huh -- and Dodge City may be screwed out of any money at all from the Casino, re county/city split -- we seem to be having a new civic center junior, and a horse barn and the Civic Center --

"CFAB Chairman Greg Starks said it would be safe to say that working together with casino development would kill the possibility of a centrally located special events center."

Rather, Boot Hill Gaming Board member Greg Starks said that the "casino interests don't want the events center where it was promised" ... or "the casino interests want the city to build next to them for the massive savings it would allow the private for-profit casino" etc. etc. etc. He should be removed from the CFAB.

I think they should be located in a 'helter-skelter' fashion much like the rest of the major developments in this city.

Nice thing about putting the Civic Center Jr. and the Casino way out West -- keeps all those visitors from having to see downtown Dodge -- and keeps all those workers in Dodge from getting to the Casino....... hmmm

I still say we voted down putting the SEC in the Wright Park area! What was the sense of voting and spending money for the election, if "they" just do whatever they want to do anyway???
