If "no official action" will be taken, then why do we need to spend the money to send "officials"????

Very good question! I don't really have a problem with a city official (representative) being there, but 3? Come on, it's tax dollars being spent on this mini-vacation. Will wnd pick up the bill on this trip? Maybe the casino will?

I know, I know it's only a few dollars, but they're our tax dollars being spent. Well, maybe Rick, Kent and Ken will all chip in and pay for the trip themselves?

Mike - FYI -the Expanded Gaming Act (SB-66) specifically prohibits Casino developers from any financial contribution to an elected official, including meals, travel, gifts, etc.

Maybe realtors could pay ?
Perhaps the 'official' realtor, CFAB Chair Greg Starks, for the Mariah Complex could pay ? Of course, being that he's a city non-elected official, maybe that's not legal either ?

Does it matter to anyone, another good question... just your money, but there's a lot of it.

Interestingly, the same city officials that were asked and wouldn't pay for travel for volunteer tourism venue board members to testify before the Kansas legislative hearings on more tourism money for Dodge City (they paid their cost themselves and went anyway, of course) are the same ones that are getting a paid trip to just watch a meeting on the Casino. Shows their priorities.

Any two members of the commission cannot discuss city business without such an announcement--open meetings law. Mini-vacation? Topeka? Get real.

Seems like about ten years ago the in-powers were flying around looking at special events centers As I recall at tax payers expense
