The phrase "not for sale" can mean two things - it won't be sold, or "we already have a buyer".<br /><br />I lean towards the idea that IMS already has a deal put together, contingent on the pot being sweetened with $100 million of tax revenue.Unigovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532072215831286109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-24480228226606051242013-02-22T20:40:21.863-05:002013-02-22T20:40:21.863-05:00The future may lie with other ownership of IMS - b...The future may lie with other ownership of IMS - but the pot should not be sweetened by $100,000,000 from taxpayer funds. <br /><br />Period.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-9582315585775590332013-02-22T20:24:15.395-05:002013-02-22T20:24:15.395-05:00It makes too much sense to do that, Pat, so it won...It makes too much sense to do that, Pat, so it won't happen. Everyone over at the State House understands the family's situation and knows that something has to take place to line up long-term ownership/management of the IMS.
