North Kansas City made the front page of the KC Star this week regarding budget deficits; and the red ink is remarkable. Current financial problems include the shortfall in revenue for their community center, where expenses exceed revenue by $1.5 million. A big chunk of city funds come from gaming proceeds from Harrah's casino, where income is down from the rip roaring days when casino gambling came to NKC. Add out of control spending, the poor economy and the addition of another casino in Wyandotte County...not good. Although city officials say it is not part of the solution, the recent discussions of the sale of NKC Hospital certainly are part of the potential plan to get the city's financial house in order.
Makes you wonder how our friends to the south in Riverside are faring. The Argosy has felt the pinch of competition from the Hollywood casino, just across the border. Maybe the idea of a riverboat casino at C Point was a bad idea after all.

Is this where we got the design for our entrance monuments?
