| Description | Could Sky Harbor soon become home to an army of one-armed bandits?
It might, if Mayor Phil Gordon has his way. Gordon wants to explore the possibility of partnering with a Native American tribe to bring slot machines to the airport.
The goal, he said, would be a profit-sharing agreement that would give the cash-strapped city a lucrative new source of revenue.
The slot-machine proposal, which is just at the idea stage, is just one of the proposals Phoenix is exploring as part of the revenue-enhancement team Phoenix formed this summer.
The group's goal: Without raising taxes or fees, find new ways of making money for Phoenix.
The reason? Given the slow economy and plunging sales -tax revenue, Phoenix is - how to put this nicely?
"We're broke," Gordon said. |
