  3. When was the last time any corporation had their incentive goodies "clawed back" just because they left town or went out of business?
    These "public/private deals are one-way streets.
    And there are a whole lot of "businesses" downtown that aren't able to pay the freight.
    Frosty.

  4. EPR Properties, the Business Journal's 2017 "Champion Of Business" now wants the State of Kansas to issue more STAR Bonds so they can get back the money they advanced to Schlitterbahn to pay the legal costs of the trial!

    Apparently there are no limits to the arrogance of these Developers and also no sense of propriety or shame.

    Meanwhile Schlitterbahn just lost one of their Texas parks to a bank foreclosure.

    Sounds like 2008 all over again, doesn't it?
