Rick,

The argument of who has what role in the politic process can be argued from both sides and frankly there is a role for OPA. The extent of that role is debatable and some on this platform called for the Board to oppose slots, clearly a political action. So I can see both sides.

But can you respond to the major point of my question as repeated below? I want to see where the Board was against OPA directly receiving slots revenue.

Thanks,

Ted

Rick,

After exploration the BOD announced they were against, or still against, OPA directly receiving slots revenue.

Where did you see this...what I read is that they didn't think they could amend the legislation, not that they were against OPA directly receiving slots revenue (if I am wrong can you reference the post?).

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:

In fact, I think they encouraged and welcomed any grassroots organization wishing to pursue that option, even if they don't believe there is much chance of success.

As I said to Bill, "The role of the BOD is to look out for the best interest of the 8,400 plus property owners. I'm of the opinion that on this issue that wasn't done."

I don't consider soliciting grassroots organization to assume the role and responsibilities of the BOD as being the proper way to do business.
