That would be a nice carrot to get downtown support, but would that have a chance in hell of happening here? I can just imagine the indignation from certain councillors that the money would be used on downtown. Flamborough was angry enough at sharing their slot revenue after amalgamation - then they lose their racetrack for a new casino that doesn't pay them at all? Not saying it's a bad idea, but I think there are less acrimonious ways to pump money into downtown.
