Go out and do, and stop trying to force me to buy you a hotel. Most of the people for the hotel (the ones who are fronting the money) lean Republican. Hence the hokey weird ads that appear to be touting the fact that they are cool and urban. Most of the people walking into the polls who were pro hotel, worked in the convention industry. So you are telling me the rest of us have to pay the tab so you might make a little more? The convention industry is like the Arms Race, everyone running to make the next biggest weapon to gain market share in an ever dwindling market. But now we have way more ammo then we could ever use. But for some reason were thinking of throwing even more money into the fire. It is not like investing in a cellular phone, it’s like investing in a 8-track player, and trying to get it to sound a little better. Enough of this socialist movement. America was not built on this. Somehow we have gotten to the point where we believe if government doesn’t do it, it wont happen. If people keep believing that, this country is a goner. Please purchase: “Economics in one Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt. Learn about the effects of intervention by government, understand that in order to give to one group you have to take by force from someone else. It actually might be Ft. Worth we are taking from in this instance, it might be other hotels, it might be other little areas of town, trying to make themselves the new hip spot, and it is definitely the tax payer. But let their be no doubt, Government intervention will adversely effect someone, and who by chance are you to decide their fate, with our dollars? The free market works. Try it.

"We" paid 42M for a property on the books for 7M. Hey, I can understand 10% either way, BUT... From the first start, this deal STINKS. It looks, acts, and quacks like a loser.

Leppert talked about the people who were against the hotel. Point goes to Wick. Here’s what I came away with after skimming the two articles: Wick talked about the hotel.
