Coffee Break

Did you see where a consultant told the Kansas Lottery that a casino in Mulvane would be more profitable than one in Wellington? Not sure what the lottery paid Christiansen Capital Advisors for that report, but I could’ve told them the same thing for a lot less.

And with that, your links for today:

  • In case you missed it, here’s the casino story.  It’s understandable why Wellington is fighting so hard for the casino, but I just don’t think that’s the right spot for it.
  • Boeing boss Jim McNerney says his company won’t throw any “needless sharp elbows” in the tanker dispute but said the company has a legitimate basis for its protest.
  • Analyst Loren Thompson, however, thinks Boeing’s aggressive stance could damage its long-standing relationship with the Air Force.
  • Oil prices continue to climb, as does demand, and one analyst has predicted gas at $7 a gallon. The New York Times looks into situation.
