This has provided a great foundation for where the A&P Commission needs to focus its efforts in the short term and in the long term as well.

Local restaurants have always had their regulars, but there are new people coming to town who may not have found those local gems yet.

The increase has been larger this year than we've seen in the past. The introduction of some nationally known restaurants probably has driven traffic toward them, and we always see when a new restaurant opens, it tends to draw people to that area.

That comes so late in the year, it's probably not going to have any effect on this year's budget. A lot of it also depends on how many games we'll get next year, but certainly the increased revenue will be a good cushion.

We've taken what should be a small unit and made it much larger than it needs to be.

It needs to be considered. Everything we've done for the last three years has been the WASL. We haven't stopped to think about the students.
