Tuesday night was an election blood bath in LaCenter, which will henceforth become known as the town of "David Barnett's Bitch," or "Megacaino" for short.
With the exception of Linda Tracy, every single member of the elected government of Megacasino is buried in Barnett's pocket, including a high ranking Clark County Sheriff who moved to LaCenter to aid Barnett's effort to take over the town.
Barnett and the Mohegans need an MOU with any community he can get. Since he owns the entire government of LaCenter, minus Linda Tracy, it's reasonable to expect a couple of things: first, it's likely there will be an MOU where the city government hands over Megacasino to Barnett in any way he wants by COB January... since the mayor, Birdwell, Nolan, Luis and "Poop" Vining ALL LIED about "opposing the casino."
Second, expect a massive tax increase designed to put the card rooms out of business.
I expect that part of the MOU will include immediate implementation of payments in lieu of taxes the moment the card rooms go under.
Of course, the city, even owned by Barnett, has to comply with the Growth Management Act... so they, like Clark County, should keep that in mind. But that won't be enough to stop them from entering an agreement given the guy who's calling all the shots.
So, again, congrats to the sheeple of Megacasino. You were handled expertly. Now, I look forward to the next election for Clark County Sheriff where I will hang a certain candidate as being neither democrat or republican, but entirely tribal.
