  6. Dull's argument is hollow. If CLT based the assessment on 25 floors, and if it actually only 15, then the assessment should be reduced accordingly. When it was sold to Ameristar, the sales price surely had a lot more to do with them wanting to get their hands on a license to print money than it did have anything to do with the hotel portion of it. What these assessor's can't seem to get a grasp of about valuing these casinos is that the purchase price of a casino with the license and the business does represent the value of the real estate per se.

    There can be two 25-foot storefronts, one can be a jewelry store that does ten-million a year, and the other one could be a resale shop that does 50K per year. If the properties are identical, they should be assessed the same, even though if the jewelry store were sold including the real estate it would likely sell for many times more than the resale shop with its real estate.

    They should leave the casinos alone and go after the steel mills and BP. Doesn't John Dull realize that he is defending the local assessor's attempt to value one stinking hotel for as much as the entire 4000-acre USX campus?

  9. They are already lying. They have already selected the location; it is the old Georgia-Pacific plant right next to the Gary Sanitary District. They have said so at numerous public meetings, so why they are now lying does not bode particularly well for the project.

    They make it sound like it is going to produce a lot of electricity. An operation like this probably won't generate enough electricity to even sustain its own operations.

  10. As long as Mr. Masterson holds any type of sway over the editorial content of this newspaper, we should not expect to get any objective--let alone investigative--reporting from it.

    After hearing how giddy he was while introducing her at the affair yesterday, one could easily be led to believe that they were going steady!
