In fact, Gaylord would have good company as the State and City of Mesa recently closed and passed through the legislature an incentive package for a $2 billion data and command center for Apple in the same area.

Colorado is not Arizona. You do not need a tax payer financed hotel in aurora when you already have a tax payer financed convention center in Denver. It was a ridiculous decision to have tax payers finance two projects that will ultimately compete with one another for revenue.
