Update on Tunica National Expenses and a Request of the Board of Supervisors

What we know as of today is that Tunica County has sent $335,105.38 to Tunica County Public Projects for the operation of Tunica National. 

As we understand it, there are 2 extra monthly allotments of $39,583.33 within this total to tie TCPP over the winter months.  These 2 additional payments were paid with the Dec 2012 claims.  There should be no allotments paid to TCPP in Aug or Sep 2013.

It looks to me like we are on our way to spending $1.3M for Tunica National.  We have no idea what is coming into Tunica National because TCPP thinks this is not any of our business.  What we do know is that any monies TCPP is collecting are not going into the Tunica County General Fund.

Hmmm, so what do we have here?  We have a Board of Supervisors who are attempting to make the Battle Arena more profitable by investing in upgrades and we have another facility that APPEARS to be draining our limited resources.

Supervisors, what are you going to do about this?  This Committee is doing our part by continuing to send Freedom of Information letters to TCPP every month.  How about a little help from the Board of Supervisors.
