Dawson's isn't in Sparta but somehow it appears that Karen Gipson has control of the old Dawson building. She is selling lots of Browning stuff. The Dawson building did not sell thru the bid buy. Question: Did she get the deal from Lynn Gipson? Gipson / ATA lease to Gipson? Convenient? How did this work? I report. You decide. merlo out
I heard empty vendor buildings were available for rent for a one month period to any sponsor. NRA took the old Hodgen building.
For rent but not renting from Illinois. ATA Exec Gipson is supervising the rental agreements. Supervising an agreement with yourself and wife. That is the bullshit the bid buy process was supposed to eliminate. Pat McCarthy and Dawson’s were screwed out of last year’s money. Convenient to have the Gipson’s there. Darn creepy!
No, that’s wrong, there still renting from and paying Illinois. They just have to be a Grand American Sponsor.
They are paying money to the ATA to get the building. Give it any title you want. “Donation” “sponsor money” wink wink. Lynn Gipson is the ATA director. He signed the lease that was posted online. They are sub leasing from the ATA. Lynn and Wife are sponsors, and he is Exec Director. It is a bowl of crap soup.
K. Rayer FALSE! #5 The lease between the State and ATA was previously posted by merlo! The sponsors only pay the ATA. Tell your handlers we can read.
Gipson has the keys to everything on site, this you can bet on .... When it comes to to reclaim the lead he will be bidding against himself and a few made up reclaimers so he is sure to get the job ... If these things are not a conflict of interest there is not and never has been one .... WPT ... (YAC) ....
Dawson Enterprises has given a lot to trapshooting. They were doing that even before Pat was part of the business. The State ran away with their rent. Best of luck to them.
NO experience Hunter would be a good one to run the ATA but I don't think they could afford him and his Dad and Uncle.
