I was also told that it was said at the meeting that if they do decide to come back to Kentucky Lake after their 3 year contract in Dayton, that they will move the tournaments to Paris (same reason).
So in the words of Ross Perot: "Do you hear that sucking sound" you dumb as legislatures that voted for this dumb ass legislation? So, not only will Kentucky not get the sales tax from the entry fees you voted for, Kentucky also will not get the sales taxes from all the tackle, gas, food and lodging these folks purchase here every year.....the local businesses will not get the big shot of annual income these tournaments generate every year either.
Hear that sucking sound?
Of course I was only told this by one of my clients that is a tournament director for USA BASSIN ie: I was not at the meeting. I did see on the USA BASSIN site that they would be making a major announcement on September 1st...let me guess what that will be.
