Last I time saw both of them was in 2002 go a going-away pool party. I believe they moved to North Carolina after. Not sure at all if any of the family is back in Iowa. I knew Dan was part of Riverboat Casino business but didn't know how far. Granted you don't look at that when you 12-13 years old. They were nice to me though.
Mostly accurate.
Nobody can blame him for trying to protect his interests. I don’t know the inner workings of the IRGC, I doubt you do either, but whatever level of corruption exists is not Kehl’s fault. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
I fail to see what's wrong with the added competition. Sure at some point "capacity" will be reached but that should be decided by the free market, not lawmakers.
No kidding. They should let people spend money on an amusement/adventure park. Or maybe a zoo or damn near any sort of family attraction. Instead they keep going for a casino. I think it’s comical that they keep thinking it will happen.
Dubuque says not so fast CR
Leaders at Dubuque’s casinos share ‘concern’ over proposed Cedar Crossing Casino in Linn County
One casino leader says losing revenue to the proposed Cedar Rapids casino could cause a "chilling effect on capital reinvestment" in Dubuque.www.kcrg.com
How about we trust the free market here, rather than government lawmakers?
You don't think people in Cedar Rapids would frequent a casino more often if one was there? It's the second largest city in Iowa. Give them a casino and then be done for awhile.
A casino would not prevent the development of any zoo or amusement/ adventure park. All it would take is an investor group willing to put money into one of those projects.
But yet the city gets upset every time the casino is shot down like it’s the only thing it is pushing for.
I wonder if his new casino off of I 80 took money away from the other casinos in Eastern Iowa? I bet he feels really bad about that.
Cedar Rapids isn't investing the money. It is supporting the investors that are.
What part is incorrect? That they get upset every time it is shot down or that it isn’t the only bigger attraction they push for?
The city promotes development of numerous projects, of which a casino would be just one of them. There has been massive industrial development in an around the airport, building renovations in the Downtown area, new projects and renovations in the NewBo area as well as other projects scattered around the city. CR has aggressively pursued development projects since the 2008 flood. The pursuit of a casino is the only project that requires a dog and pony show for approval based on some contrived level of "morality" and the only one where the affects on other communities are even considered. The city would certainly support a a different attraction/Amusement venue if a legit developer were to propose it.
What was the case when they had that? Remember when riverside was going to build cr an attraction/amusement park if they stopped pushing the casino?
I’d be surprised. Lost island is considered one of the best water parks in the country.
