Damn right I have an ego. Not needing to rely on lies and promotional deception to make money in the market gives me right to have inflated ago.. Have you look in the mirror lately ?

More from the Richmond News: It’ll be interesting to see what the land commission says By Dixon Tam (dtam@richmond-news.com) It’s easy to see why Sungold Entertainment’s Kim Hart is frustrated with Richmond city council. His proposal to build a horse racetrack in east Richmond was denied by city council this week. The main sticking point seems to be the fact that Sungold wants to use 227 acres of farmland, which is protected from development as it is in the agricultural land reserve. In my past experience, I know it is very difficult to pull property out of the reserve. Hart was asking for Richmond city council’s endorsement, but didn’t get it. This isn’t the first time that Hart’s proposal has been turned down. He originally pitched the idea in 1998. But the resourceful Hart isn’t taking no for an answer this time. He says he intends to go over city council’s head and straight to the Land Reserve Commission. If the LRC somehow agrees with Hart’s proposal, the whole thing will come back to city council to look at again. Hart argues that his proposal benefits Richmond’s agricultural community. No one doubts that the Sungold project has its merits. It would create new jobs, increase the city’s tax base, draw visitors to Richmond, and perhaps even give a boost to the local agricultural community. And while we’ve discussed how it would be a shame to take away so much farmland, one of the other issues that hasn’t really been discussed is whether Richmond needs another gambling venue. In the bigger picture, the Lower Mainland already has racetracks in Vancouver and in Cloverdale. Does it really need — or can it support — another major facility? I think Richmond city council made the right decision this time under the circumstances. It will be interesting to see how the LRC views this application. richmond-news.com
