Maybe we should ask Attorney Perry

Before I forget there is a BOSs' meeting tonight, 15 Mar 2016, at 5p.

In last week's Tunica Times there is an opinion piece written by Brooks Taylor.  It's on pages 4 and 10 of the 11 Mar 2015 issue.

Within this opinion, Taylor States:

"...the Tunica Museum (is) unique among the amenities and attractions built with gaming revenue.  It's staff are not county employees, it is not a county owned facility..."

Really?  Then why did the County issue a $3M Bond for the museum?  The airport employees are not County employees and except for Jason Lloyd, neither are the employees at the golf course.

Elsewhere in this opinion, Taylor States that the Founders of the Tunica Museum intended that the museum is a gift to the community.  What does this mean?  A physical gift or an enhancement?

For a very long time folks in Tunica have wondered why these Component Units were set-up as 501c3 facilities.  Maybe this is an opportunity to ask Attorney Perry for a definitive answer.
