Stand up For Kansas Newsletter -Impact of casinos on retail sales in mid-size
cities
7/8/06. Casino investors and lobbyists often promote
casinos as engines of economic development. But, a paper presented last October
at a conference of the Nebraska Economics and Business Association (NEBA)
disproves this claim and shows clearly that a casino in a mid-size, stand-alone
city is a drain on the local economy.
The paper summarizes this very important study.
School
funding left up in the air
4/1/06. Topeka
— The Kansas Legislature adjourned its regular session Friday having failed to
reach consensus on the major issue before it: funding public schools.
Gambling
talks fail to spur action
4/1/06. Gambling advocates and opponents delivered well-worn arguments Friday
in response to introduction of a House bill opening the door to casinos and slot
machines at race tracks.
Their testimony to the House Federal and State Affairs Committee
didn't spur members to action.
Gambling issue
may not be dead but is on life support
3/17/06.
The Senate rejected a
gambling bill Thursday night, 20-16 - five votes short of the 21 needed for
passage. On Friday, another gambling bill was introduced in the Ways and Means
Committee, which some saw as an effort to keep hope alive.
But Senate President Steve Morris said some of 20 who voted against the first
plan must have a change of heart.
Senate dumps gambling bill
3/17/06. "I will not be driven to vote for a gambling bill because of that
court across the street," said Sen. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler.
Senate
rejects bill to expand gambling
3/16/06. TOPEKA, Kan. - A bill permitting
two state-owned casinos and slot machines at three horse and dog tracks failed
Thursday night in the Senate, even though leaders pushed it aggressively as a
way to raise money for public schools.
The vote was 20-16 against the measure, another in a long series of defeats for
potential gambling developers and their legislative allies.
[Some] said the costs of expanding gambling were too great to bear by the state,
its residents and businesses in lost revenues, social ills and corruption.
Sen. Roger Reitz told senators to forget about future elections; the issue was
about the future of Kansas and legislators exercising their responsibility to
choose the right path for the state.
Senate shoots down plea for local casino referendum
3/16/06. One local legislator made a
last-ditch effort to allow Sedgwick County residents to vote on whether they
want a casino built here.
About two hours into the Senate debate over gambling, Sen. Donald Betts,
D-Wichita, tried to amend a bill to allow a local referendum on casino gambling.
The amendment failed 24 to 16.
Gambling bill advances to Senate debate
3/14/06.
A Senate
panel advanced a bill today to allow slot machines and two casinos in Kansas. A
vote by the full Senate could occur by the end of the week.
Betting it
all on Kansas gambling
3/12/06. TOPEKA
- Here's what's changed in Kansas' gambling laws over six years:
absolutely nothing.
Here's what's changed about gambling contributions to legislative campaigns over
six years: They're up more than 300 percent.
Gaming remains on track
Senator expects panel will pass bill
3/11/06. "This is a recipe for corruption!" declared Glenn Thompson, leader
of the anti-gambling organization Stand up for Kansas.
"This
legislation is an important step in making Kansas a competitive state," said
George Wingert, a lobbyist championing businessman Phil Ruffin's bid to bring
slots to Wichita Greyhound Park and the Camptown track at Pittsburg.
Gaming measure
rolls into Senate
3/8/06. The gaming bill, introduced in
the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, calls for construction of
state-owned casinos in Wyandotte County and southeast Kansas along with
distribution of as many as 7,000 slot machines among pari-mutuel dog- and
horse-racing tracks in Frontenac, Kansas City, Kan., and Wichita. The bill also
contains a provision allowing Dodge City to receive a share of the new slot
machines should a pari-mutuel track be built there.
Introduction of gambling bill expected next week in Senate
2/24/06.
The proposal
calls for two casinos, one in Wyandotte County, which includes Kansas City,
Kan.; and one in southeast Kansas. It also allows slot machines at horse and dog
tracks in Kansas City, Wichita and Frontenac and permits slots at Dodge City, if
the town ever constructs a pari-mutuel track.
A look at
gambling legislation being drafted in the Senate
2/24/06. Key points of the legislation.
Bill would help fight problem gambling
2/7/06. Kansas lawmakers may finally do the right thing and earmark serious
money in the state budget to combat pathological gambling...Senate Bill 430
pending in the State and Federal Affairs Committee would bump Kansas’ share of
lottery and race track revenues for the state’s Problem Gambling Grant Fund from
$80,000 to $3 million.
Officials defend stance: Goodwin attends meeting
2/6/06. “What bothers me is that when some
have knowledge of the potential harm that may result from gambling and they
agree that these things do and can happen, they continue to push for a casino
under the banner of economic development. I can only conclude that they have no
respect for their friends, neighbors or perhaps their loved ones if they subject
them to this possible harm. I would liken this to creating a mine field and
allowing people to walk through it. You know that some will walk to the other
side, but those who don't get to the other side will pay a heavy price.”--Rep.
Bill McCreary
Goodwin
defends stand against casino
2/6/06.
State Sen. Greta Goodwin says she
is disappointed that the Cowley County Commission may support Sumner County's
efforts to land a casino-resort off Interstate 35 near Wellington...She said
Cowley would get no local revenue from a casino in Sumner County, and that her
research on gambling shows that it hurts more than helps cities and towns that
pursue it as an economic development tool.
Sebelius offers support
2/2/06. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
told Sumner County Economic Development Director Debra Teufel not to be
discouraged when it comes to the issue of expanded gaming in south central
Kansas.
Legislative Update from Glenn Thompson of Stand Up For Kansas
2/2/06.
Since the
beginning of the session, the governor's staff and senate leadership have been
jointly preparing a bill for expanding gambling. Each week, leadership said the
bill will be out "next week." This week, the word was maybe next week, but more
likely the following week.
Governor Sebelius continued to refuse to negotiate with the three Indian tribes
proposing compacts for destination casinos in Wyandotte Co. and Cherokee Co.
Proposal would put a new spin on Kansas casino plans
1/31/2006.
Brungardt
said he is bowing to political reality. “There’s not going to be any lands taken
into trust for gaming purposes,” he said. “The only game in town,” he said, “is
state-owned” casinos operated through the Kansas Lottery.
Gambling Bill May Solve School Budget Crunch
1/26/06.
In hopes of avoiding another special session and Supreme Court ruling, Senate
President Steve Morris is hoping a new gambling bill will finally pass and give
the state the extra revenue it needs to fund school finance. Morris says the
state has to have another source of revenue, either taxes or gaming.
Time frame: Casino window
narrows
1/20/06.
WELLINGTON - Proponents for a Sumner County location for a
casino may be working within only a two week window to get themselves on the
legislative map for expanded gambling in Kansas.
Plans For A Destination Casino In South Central Kansas Suffer A Setback
January
24--Local leaders in South Central Kansas are taking their push for a
destination casino to the State Capitol. They don't feel like they are getting a
fair shot, and they are taking the matter into their own hands.
Former foes now on same side of gambling issue
1/20/06.
Topeka — They say politics makes strange bedfellows...That is
even more true when it comes to the debate in the Legislature over whether to
allow state-revenue producing casinos.
Local officials upset about proposed gambling bill
1/20/06.
WICHITA,
Kansas
- An expanded gambling bill is on the fast track to Topeka. The bill doesn’t
include south central Kansas but are leaders say the fight isn’t over to bring a
destination casino to our area.
On
gambling, Senate set to take chance
1/15/06.
TOPEKA = The losing streak for casino gambling in the Kansas Senate may be about
to end. In an informal survey of the Senate by The Wichita Eagle and the Kansas
City Star, 24 senators said they could vote for a bill legalizing two new
casinos in the state. That's three more votes than are needed to pass the bill.
Rep. Bill McCreary
responds: ‘I will not resign, I've done nothing wrong'
1/11/06.
“Gambling is not true economic development,” he
said. “Just this morning, I was talking with Rep. Becky Hutchins, R-Holton, from
the district where the casinos are located in Northeast Kansas. She told me
about the increase in bad checks, foreclosures and bankruptcies, and people who
lost everything.”
“Becky is aware of at least one suicide as a
result of gambling,” McCreary said. “While she admits that gambling does create
jobs, it is not as many as were promised.”
According to Hutchins, McCreary said, casinos
rob employees from small businesses in the community and makes it almost
impossible to fill the needs of hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, school
food service and other small businesses.
Resolution shows city's frustration over casino
1/12/06. “I
have hope for it coming to south-central Kansas,” Park City Mayor Dee Stuart
said. “I don’t have hope for it coming to Park City anymore.
And yet, Mayor Stuart is on record as continuing to oppose slots at the
Greyhound Park. Odd, considering both projects are as likely to cause the
problems such as crime and increased traffic.
Gambling bill hits fast track in Topeka
Jan. 12, 2006.
TOPEKA - A bill authorizing destination casinos in Kansas City and Pittsburg
and slot machines at Wichita Greyhound Park could be headed for an early
vote...The bill will not include a casino for the Wichita area.
Resolution seeks support
January 12, 2006. The campaign to gain
political and legislative support for a destination-based resort casino in
Sumner County is heating up.
Park City mayor wants casino in Harvey County
1/4/06. Park
City Mayor Dee Stuart has flip-flopped on her original position that Park City
needed the casino for all the projects she wanted to fund, including "Lower
water rates, Paved drainage ditches, Post Office, Recreation Center, Library and
Senior Housing." All this, she promised in her campaign material, "could be ours
if the proposed destination casino [in Park City] becomes a reality". Check out
candidate Stuart's campaign propaganda
here. In the referenced
Newton Kansan article she is quoted as saying, "...if Harvey County gets it,
at least it will be some jobs for Park City residents; which was the whole point
in the beginning, was jobs.” Her stand on slots at the Greyhound Park was that
Sedgwick County would get all the benefit and Park City all the problems.
Regarding a casino in Harvey County, on 10/27/05 the Ark Valley News
reported: "Stuart said if Harvey County lures a casino--especially one located
near the county line--Sedgwick County will experience the resulting crime and
traffic. 'And we’ll have no money to deal with those issues,' she added."
All bets off
on expanded gaming
1/2/06. The ongoing effort
to put large casinos in select locations across Kansas will return to the
Statehouse next week. But as is custom with the gambling issue in Topeka, no one
is placing any bets.
Jackpot or losing
ticket?
11/5/05.
Some people inside and outside of government circles worry voters
in Harvey, Marion and Sumner counties really won’t know what they’ll be voting
on later this year when asked if they support a destination casino in their
county.
Chances For Vote On Gambling A Little Closer For Casino Supporters
11/4/05.
The first step to build the casino and entertainment compound: Open a
temporary casino building (emphasis added) just north of the Hyatt.
Regarding the plan, Mayor Mayans, in an email to Timothy Conners of the
Harvey County Casino Free Coalition, stated:
"If you were to listen closely to the news reporting (taking into consideration
that the interview was five minutes but they edit what they want) what I was
excited about was the almost HALF A BILLION investment in downtown Wichita..."
If that's what it's all about then why is the very first thing on the
developers' agenda to put up a "temporary" casino? There are places where where
no multi-million dollar investment has ever taken the place of the original,
supposedly temporary, casino.
Casino backers
seek best locale
11/4/05. WELLINGTON - Some
Wellington community leaders met this morning with Bob Knight, developer and
former Wichita mayor, and Gary Armentrout, chief development officer for

casino in south central Kansas.

Group forms to stop
casino
10/19/05. A group calling itself the Harvey County Casino Free Coalition has
been formed to mount an educational campaign to inform the public of “the
harmful effects casinos bring to local communities.” Packets of information have

Sedgwick Co commission casino resolution
10/19/05. Glenn Thompson of Stand up for Kansas reports on the resolution passed
by the Sedgwick County Commission on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Included are some
highlights of remarks by
County Manager William Buchanan. Here is the substance of the resolution:
"In the event the State approves expanded gambling, in any form,
such as but not limited to casinos, Sedgwick County citizens deserve and should
be afforded the opportunity to vote on whether said expanded gambling is
appropriate in Sedgwick County. The Board of County Commissioners strongly
supports allowing the citizens to vote in a binding election on the questions of
whether or not expanded gambling should be allowed in Sedgwick County.
Furthermore, any legislation that is enacted for expanding gambling must, at a
minimum, provide sufficient revenue to Sedgwick County to offset the increased
social costs to our community."
Communities to let residents vote on casino proposal
10/18/05. WICHITA, Kan. - Two more counties
interested in landing a proposed $300 million destination resort-casino will ask
residents what they think about the project in nonbinding referendums.
Knight presenting casino proposal to others
10/17/05. "I'm not shopping this
idea," Knight said. "All I'm doing is, if people express interest in it, I'm
explaining our product. They're not giving me the time of day here. I'm
absolutely perplexed by that."
Sebelius: No Sedgwick County referendum, no casino

pronounced Sedgwick County out of the running for a destination casino without a
countywide referendum.
Study: Casino cons
(From the Wellington Daily News)
10/13/05. University of
Illinois and University of Georgia — a non-sponsored university study concludes
that counties with casino gambling have an 8 percent higher crime rate on
average than counties without casinos.
YES OR NO? ‘Do you support locating a destination casino in Harvey County?
10/11/05. Former Wichita Mayor Bob Knight presented the plan for the
potential 59-acre resort complex to the Harvey County Commission Monday morning.
The completely privately funded project likely would sit alongside I-135 in
Harvey County.
Group seeks county’s
input
10/11/05. Harvey
County could become home to a new 1.2 million-square-foot destination casino
resort, but the first step will have to come from the county’s
residents...Before construction can begin, Knight and his associates need the
blessing of both Harvey County and the state Legislature. Rather than make the
decision themselves, the commissioners unanimously agreed to put the proposal to
residents of Harvey County with a non-binding mail-in referendum sometime in the
next 90 days.
Casino backers

Gambling advocates have dropped plans for a casino in Park City after resistance
from county commissioners.
Details needed for
casino vote
8/30/05. To take a "nonbinding referendum" with a deceptively simple question
such as, "Do you want a casino in Sedgwick County?" would only lead the
thoughtful voter/citizen to many more questions...

gambling shows hint of life
8/25/05. At least one county commissioner is again thinking about holding a

Local vote
on casino is possible
8/2/05. Long-time
opponent of casino expansion, Glenn Thompson of
Stand Up for Kansas, says that
while a referendum on the casino issue may sound like a good idea, it is a
problem for opponents for this reason: the supporters of
casino gambling have an unlimited amount of money to spend in order to buy the
election - and don't think they won't do it. Those of us opposed will
have limited funds with which to combat their advertising blitz. (Think of the
downtown arena ad campaign and then multiply by a factor of hundreds or even
thousands.)
Proposed casino
still a gamble
7/29/05. GALENA,

Gambling remains tempting solution to state budget woes
July
17, 2005. TOPEKA, Kan. - With legislators facing a bad case of budget blues
next year, expanded gambling seems a logical solution. But logic and good
politics aren't always the twin pillars on which public policy rests.
Casinos’ take keeps rising
July 13, 2005.
Gamblers dropped a whopping
$680.4 million at Kansas City’s four casinos during the 2005 fiscal year, which
ended June 30...[T]he
number of troubled gamblers applying to the state for voluntary legal exclusion
from casinos also was up during the just-ended fiscal year, said Melissa R.
Stephens, administrator of problem-gambling programs for the Missouri Gaming
Commission. More than 8,000 people are on the list, and the 14.4 percent
increase in applications during 2005 came on the heels of 4.9 percent growth
last year.
Point, counterpoint: Let Kansas voters decide
July 12, 2005. by Rick Alm,
Kansas City Start columnist.
Just as Missouri adopted a constitutional amendment that
legalized riverboat gambling, Kansas lawmakers could craft language that
restricts casino gambling to a handful of urban, state-border markets. Then
Kansas would have what other states have — options, including the strictly
regulated, heavily taxed commercial casino industry.

Wichita mayor concerned about Park City casino proposal
While Park
City is aggressively pursuing a casino, Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans said
Wichita is not...
"We are not vying to put a casino in Wichita. What we have said is, developers
have approached us with plans. I don’t have any plans of my own," said Mayor
Mayans.
Knight: Time's short for state on casino
(plus a
related story and editorial)
In this April 15,2005 article in the Eagle Knight attempts to apply pressure on the
state to approve the plan quickly - without considering all the consequences. In
the same issue, the Eagle's editorial board touts the Park City casino even over
the idea of a casino in downtown Wichita.
Indian tribes announce partnership in Park City casino
The Iowa Tribe of Kansas and
Nebraska and the Mashantucket Pequot Trial Nation in Connecticut formally
announced their partnership in the proposal for a $270 million casino in Park
City.
What this means is that much of the
revenue generated by the casino would go out of state to service the debt the
Iowa Tribe will incur in getting the casino up and running.
Crawford County
votes for casino:
Crawford
County became the first county in Kansas to signal its readiness for a
state-owned destination casino.
Without sufficient education on the cons of gambling to an area, we are likely
to see the same thing happen here. The lure of "easy money" is as seductive to
local and state governments as it is to individuals - and equally founded on
quicksand.
Recipe for expanded gambling: Step 1-give folks a
taste for the game
River Festival takes a gamble
KWCH 12 Eyewitness News
Friday, April 8, 2005
On a Friday night, some people sit
down to play poker. The game of skill and chance is growing in popularity. The
organizers of the Wichita River Festival know that and announced it's adding a
casino night to the festival's schedule. Organizers noticed the growing
popularity of games like poker and decided to try it in Wichita.
The River Festival's Casino Night isn't actually
gambling. Adults don't have to pay anything to get in; they don't even need a
button. District Attorney Nola Foulston says it's illegal to require any
person to make a donation or contribution to play the games.
So you can try your luck without spending any money.
There will be slot machines and poker tables.
Festival President Janet Wright says the event could be
really big, and they're curious to see how it turns out.
The casino night will be Tuesday May 8th.
Wichita's Greyhound Park is sponsoring the event. Prizes will be
coupons to use at the park.
