Since there will almost certainly be a new license application period, I’m going back through old posts reviewing what was posted and written about Gulfside and Choctaw over the past 4 years and 5 months since Pope County Majority was established.
On October 23, 2019, I posted:
“OMG — I’m reading CNB’s motion to dismiss in the Gulfside case AND there are paragraphs arguing the GRAMMAR of Amendment 100! “
Of course, looking back, it’s no surprise that the judge I now believe to be biased, Tim Fox, didn’t dismiss the case on this point.
FOX would, though, go on later and deny CNB’s motion to intervene in the case, which the Arkansas Supreme Court (ASC) would subsequently reverse.
The irony, though, is that, TWO YEARS LATER, the same case, where Fox ruled FOR Gulfside, would ultimately be reversed and dismissed based on the GRAMMAR of Amendment 100!
After that ASC decision
- Gulfside lost the license, and,
- the Racing Commission awarded a license for the Pope County casino to Legends and CNB.
