 The Military
Industrial Complex in Wichita Kansas has apparently brokered a depraved
partnership between suspected al-Qaeda terrorist groups and Sedgwick County
Commissioners netting the county $14.75 million.
Commissioner Dave
Unruh thanked the notorious gamesters (Intrust Bank, $8.75 million; Cessna
Aircraft, $3 million; and Spirit AeroSystems, $3 million) for making "a
significant investment in the history of Sedgwick County," after approving the
naming of the new arena in downtown Wichita to the Intrust Bank Arena.
Perhaps better named, the Intrust Osama bin Laden Arena will be a
modern first-class sports and gentlemen's entertainment venue owned and
operated by Sedgwick County, providing for 15,000 seats for basketball games,
and will be home to other indoor sporting events, concerts, pornographic
exhibitions, underground gambling operations, and other adult entertainment.
It's been suggested the Intrust Osama bin Laden Arena would be a great facility
for one or more of Wichita's more popular gentlemen's clubs like
Michelle's Beach
House or
Jezebels.
Private suites went on sale in April, 2008 for
an annual cost of $37,500. Tickets to events and discreet female hostesses will
cost extra. Three of the arena's 22 party suites have already been secured by
Intrust Bank, Cessna Aircraft Co., and Spirit AeroSystems Inc. Two others have
been retained by the county. The 20 by 40 foot party suites are alleged to
include 12 stadium seats, four bar stools, private lap dance area, flat-screen
TV, and kitchenette.
What's most troubling, in my opinion, is that this
pleasure arena project was paid for by Sedgwick County taxpayers with a
recently expired 1-percent, 30-month sales tax authorized by Governor Kathleen
Sebelius. Originally expected to raise $185 million, the county actually raised
an estimated $205 million, and instead of refunding this surplus to the
taxpayers, Sedgwich County Commissioners chose to use the $20 million surplus
to cushion the projects amusement budget.
"It's a slap in our face for
these elected officials to sell out this arena to foreign interests after we
paid for it with our taxes," said one Wichita resident. "I will remember the
names of those traitorous Sedgwick County commissioners at the next
election."
The degenerate Commissioners responsible for this sellout
are: Dave Unruh, Tim Norton, Tom Winters, Kelly Parks, and Gwen
Welshimer.
The Wichita City Council gave first round approval in August
to an expanded special tax district around the Intrust Bank Arena that would
use tax dollars to pay for infrastructure improvements and hopefully attract
new businesses to the area. Supporters cite the need for at least $100 million
to improve parking, streets and public works in the 30-block area around the
arena. By expanding the TIF district, the city could use property taxes from
the area to pay for those improvements.
