Horton lives close to the fairgrounds. Dean advisor Jim Hester recomended Horton to Dean. Horton owns, or did own or flip property within a mile of the fairgrounds in the last three years or so. Hester used to work for Horton when Ned ran a music management company about ten years ago. Horton's web and marketing company did Dean's web site when Dean ran for mayor. Horton's company may still have a contract with Dean for web and marketing services. Horton may have or had any property transactions in his wife's name. Hester asked put Horton on the" committee" because he was against the raceway and fairgrounds to begin with. Thats fine. But the fact Horton renovated property between the chili plant and fairgrounds is suspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-72407592174770727702011-02-21T15:39:21.144-06:002011-02-21T15:39:21.144-06:00Boyer, you hit the nail on the head with your resp...Boyer, you hit the nail on the head with your response to Anonymous. Isn't it ironic Anonymous seems to know what may be lerking in the mind of KD and his unethical "Lil Brown Nosed" puppets that think they are going to gain from KD's promise to them if they help him in quest to demolish the Fairgrounds. They just can't see the true side of KD. He made a promise to us too, then he stabbed us in the back. That's what he does best, leader of the city...NOT SO WELL. Can't wait to say goodbye to KD and his bunch of brown noising cowards.las04noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-19395218777605850872011-02-21T14:43:52.247-06:002011-02-21T14:43:52.247-06:00Though many would like to see the state fair stay,...Though many would like to see the state fair stay, I don't think it is instrumental to the future of the fairgrounds. That said, a successful fair really comes down to promotion and execution. Can it be done at the fairgrounds? Yes. Other sites may make sense as well. I fully support keeping the fairgrounds and raceway. A reinvigorated raceway and fairgrounds can be an economical and cultural positive to all citizens and visitors. I find anonymous's comment both ludicrous and negative. You should move to another city. But you are likely employed by Dean in some form or fashion.Boyer H.

You heard it here first. The State Fair goes. Then the Flee Market goes to Whocarewhere-ville, USA. Then the racetrack is finally demolished.

He and his administration will do anything to get their way. We must watch him like a hawk until he is gone.Boyer H. Barnernoreply@blogger.com
