You're Welcome from all the other tax payers that paid for that rebate

Check the story below..........Ohio Screwed this up by outsourcing the rebate program and handed a huge chunk of money to another country
your tax dollars at work.............

http://www.cleveland.com/business/in..._programs.html

"Patt-McDaniel and other Department of Development employees discovered that Parago was using an offshore facility only after an Ohioan asked the person on the other end of the rebate hotline where he was located and was told: "El Salvador."

As soon as you get the check and cash it, head across the river right straight to the Riverside race book with the 2 c's. You will surely have a prosperous day. You have been granted a gift from the Racing Gods, and these things do not happen often, and must be taken advantage of at once.

The hits continue, spotting the hits that that hit the spot, from our stacks of wax, right here on the center aisle of your radio dial, WBO and that ain't no bull.

I will be there this coming Sunday thru Wednesday, have a 3 night room comp that I could not turn down. Weather forecast for Sunday is for a "chilly" 95 and windy, so will not roast driving in early in the morning. The RS has been my favorite book since they moved upstairs from what is now the poker room. However, on the last two visits, last December and March, the service and efficiency seemed to have slipped a little. Locals that I spoke to have also had the same impression. One thing that really ticked off everyone, local or visitor, is that you can no longer use comp dollars to purchase Forms, cash only please. Oh well, with what I have on the books, could eat every meal there for zero if i wished, although prefer to hoard a bit and use the comp dollars sparingly.
