  • Devos Releases Unprecedented Amount of Personal Financial Information
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: John Truscott MARCH 31, 2006 (517) 485-8404 DeVos releases unprecedented amount of personal financial information Gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos today released an unprecedented amount of personal financial information to demonstrate to voters that there clearly are no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts between his business holdings and state government. Today’s released information demonstrates that Dick and Betsy DeVos have paid all taxes in full, have no conflicts of interest and are proven community leaders. IRS data show that the average tax paid on income by Americans is 11.9 percent. The top 1 percent of income earners (those with incomes over $1.05 million) paid an average of 24.31 percent. Included in this document: • In an unprecedented move, Dick DeVos included a list of all the businesses in which he has an interest; • A list of 449 charities to which DeVos has contributed; and • This is a tremendous amount of detail; more than what would be provided in a tax return. #### Paid for by DeVos for Governor | PO Box 22216 | Lansing | MI | 48909 | 517-679-0191 www.DeVosforGovernor.com Dick and Betsy DeVos No Conflict of Interest March 31, 2006 Taxes Paid in Full The most recently filed tax return for Dick and Betsy DeVos is their 2004 return.

  • 11302012 Spokane Hotel Development Proposal Review And
    30 November 2012 Mr. Kevin H. Twohig, Executive Director Spokane Public Facilities District 720 West Mallon Spokane, WA 99201 RE: Spokane Convention Center Hotel Development Proposal Review and Analysis Dear Kevin: On behalf of Conventional Wisdom Corp (CW) and C.H. Johnson Consulting (CHJC), I am pleased to submit this report analyzing the potential impacts to and benefits for the convention center as a result of the proposed construction of a new headquarters hotel. A number of major convention centers across the United States have used the recent recession to evaluate their current offerings and provide non-traditional improvements. Following a twenty year cycle of rapid expansion of exhibition space, the industry focus has shifted toward making it better, not necessarily bigger, with improvements to meeting and banquet space, higher quality architectural finishes and wholesale replacement of technology infrastructure. A new headquarters hotel may be the single greatest improvement currently available for marketing Spokane as a destination. The Consulting Team has looked at the ongoing operation of the convention center and determined that the reduced attendance and general event business is consistent with the economic downturn’s effects on similar facilities across North America. These impacts are not unique to Spokane, but recent indications from the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) are that a modest recovery is taking hold in many market sectors and that future bookings are rapidly improving. The completion of the convention center expansion and construction of a new headquarters hotel will address a significant number of the reasons given by event planners for not coming to Spokane.
