Paying
for Com Systems
Note to the Commissioner 5/22/13 from Paul
Hunter: “A serious
thought. Withhold any casino money meant for the city, if any, and credit it to
the city for the new communication budget."
WNJ 6/24/13
On Monday, Clinton County Commissioner Pat Haley suggested the county's share of casino revenue should be used to help fund the $5.2 million communication's system proposed for the county, but Commissioners Mike Curry and Kerry Steed said they were not sure of how much casino money is available.

In his statement, Haley said the Clinton County Budget Commission has estimated that Clinton County will receive approximately $370,000 to $400,000 annually from the casino tax.
……..
I have been giving great consideration to ways of fairly and equitably sharing
these monies with the townships and villages, the City of Wilmington and the
taxpayers of Clinton County," Haley said. "It is my recommendation we
use the casino monies to reimburse the county what we advance for the new radio
project."
Haley said if commissioners decide to use casino money to help pay for the new radio system, they would not be giving cash directly to the subdivisions, but the money used for the radio system would enhance the safety and benefit everyone in Clinton County.
"If we use the casino monies for this major project, we would not be placing the expenditure totally on the backs of the Clinton County taxpayers," Haley said. "Those who frequent the casinos, particularly non-county residents, will help pay for this project."

Paul Hunter's opinion: Want
to protect the hospital sale funds? It’s a reasonable expectation that the 126
acres of the county owned and high quality “Children’s Home” land would bring
at least $8,000 per acre totaling over $1 million. It would also get the county
out of the commercial real estate - landlord business.
