Small Operator

I keep finding stuff.

I know much of this is now history and moot, but I keep finding interesting stuff.

On December 27, 2018, State Senator Breanne Davis sent a letter “on a matter of significant importance” to Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, who declined to give an opinion because of ongoing litigation.

Our incumbent County Judge did not seek reelection. He will leave office at the end of his term, which is approximately 4 days from now. He has held no hearings nor offered any indication that he is in private negotiations with or in support of a small casino operator from Mississippi until the last couple of days. However, the incumbent County Judge has now indicated with great seriousness to Pope County citizens that he is strongly considering signing a letter to the Arkansas Gaming Commission endorsing this small operator to proceed with the casino license application process… My sincere hope is that the County Judge will not sully his more than 30 years of service to the County with such last minute defiance of the clear will of the citizenry.

That “small operator” that Senator Davis was referring to, of course, was Gulfside.
… and they went on to show just how “small” they are.
