Give us the facts about ‘rosy’ report

Published 9:00 pm Saturday, May 29, 2004

I would like to be informed just exactly who is the “Checkered Flag Task Force” and how much was paid for the “rosy” report. Of course, if they paid for a report, it will be biased to show the end result that the task force wants put out before the public. For a true report, have an independent report done by someone trusted by all, not what is paid for by the ones who are pushing for the racetrack. How much will it cost the taxpayers/citizens of the county to build such a boondoggle? As I have not been privy to the report, at least the elected officials could state what it is going to cost the public for it to be built. Show me the figures and keep the garbage out of the newspaper.
