Questions have been forwarded about the sudden meeting and vote of support for the Butler National Services Gaming casino proposal by the Dodge City Commission -- we don't know if it was legal -- guess the City Manager/City Attorney thought so -- but....
1) The meeting wasn't announced but a few days ahead of time;
2) The vote was made on an unfinished and unread (Sowers: "I haven't read it") 4-page motion without a number;
3) The annexation of the land involved wasn't yet legal due to the fact that it had not been published, a requirement of Kansas law, so the land wasn't in Dodge City yet, but was still in Ford County.
We don't know. Seems odd, for sure. Leave it up to lawyers later, I guess.
But 1, 2, and 3, are facts. As long as the City of Dodge City is fair to all (or any) other applicants, it shouldn't be an issue -- if Dodge City Commission is unfair -- lawyers will love it.
