Another $64 million dollar special meeting ?
Wonder what this meeting will cost taxpayers ? Still no word on that $34 million dollars for infrastructure to casinos, and how the casinos will pay? This meeting was called without notice, except for post 5 p.m. Friday message? Aren't there laws about notice ? City commission candidates better be there -- questions will be asked each of you about your positions on the $64 million dollar events center. Mr. Sherer's position has been Yes to that.

Reading would help -- let's see, $30 million for event center and ...
DodgeCity.com: Dodge Globe: Local News: Stories
"FORD COUNTY CASINO Dodge City Could Pay an Estimated $33,340,000
Infrastructure cost projected in multimillions, could take years"

Gee, did I misunderstand this article ? Or isn't $30 million plus almost $34 million about $64 million ? (Of course that would depend on our events center being by someone's casino. If it was in the city as planned, it would cost $millions of dollars less, of course.)

Did I add that wrong -- darn meds -- or am I not blinded by making money from it ?

OT,

Love is blind! And the Love of Money is the root of all evil! Therefore those who love making money must be blind and evil? Especially those who love making money at taxpayers expense?

Gypsy,

Wichita is and was a bit more practical than Dodge. Dodge City and Ford County voted in a sales tax that has no sunset. We'll be paying this tax ("Why Not Dodge?") forever!

Forever? I am sure we will be paying for it a lot longer than that!!! Bring a whole new meaning to Get the Hell out of Dodge. It needs to read, "Get the Hell out of Dodge, if you want to stop pay all of the stupid taxes".
