She explained in the meeting no efforts to "threaten" the track owners happened, well one of the owners has actual mail evidence doing so. We don't know a whole lot at this time, due to disclosure agreements and such. Facebook page has had over 800 likes within the past 24 hours, a news article and been published, all over the radio, and on the TV. So, the track owners will still sale, but at a reasonable price to be able to build a new facility. Political ramifications will be had when this is all said and done, we're not going down with a fight what-so-ever. Also many of the statements that were made have been a complete lie.. We have about 5 acres of asphalt, it hasn't flooded since like '93 so there is no flood hazard. They've been phucking us for oh about 15 years now, 20k in taxes and WATER RUN OFF IN THE ****ING WINTER are you shitting me?
Never dealt with corrupt politics face to face until now, and if I say so my self, this may get a little hairy pretty soon with all of the media, racing forums, car shops, tire shops, other sponsors around the area being absolutely pissed off.
You could probably turn this into something bigger with some proof.
sadly, he would probably be silenced by 12 or so very wealthy lawyers serving some company.
the same thing happened when they built the sparkly new gentrified-as-**** Dallas Cowboys stadium. they demolished an entire neighborhood, and they got away with it (and even received tax revenue JUST TO BUILD IT) by promising the voters of Arlington, TX that it would boost restaurant, hotel, and retail revenue. they bought it. now on days when the Cowboys play, anywhere within a 10-mile radius is deserted because traffic has ALWAYS been a constant nightmare, now even worsened. home values jumped up a little bit, but most restaurants in that area took really hard hits, many closed down, and entire office/shop complexes turned up for sale.
and as i said above, they ousted an entire neighborhood and demolished family homes.
so, Emo_Saur_ once you get off of your well-deserved pity binge, i suggest you start occupying kansas city. if you are granted a fighting chance to overturn it, they might be a good group of people to talk to. even if many of them may prefer a park over a drag strip, if you tell them what is happening (eminent domain) and appeal to them logically and ethically, they will most likely hear you out.
