Re: Lodging tax

Quote:
I've been following this ever since the Historical Society and Gaineswood (among others) suggested to the Council that the lodging tax be increased, earmarking a portion to fund our historic sites in the city (Gaineswood, Bluff Hall, Lion Hall, etc.) I felt the suggestion was a decent one, mainly because I love the historic side of our city and want to see these sites continue.

The council recently visited the idea, but those favoring the tax don't want any money earmarked for them. They also want to remove the clause that rewards those hotels that pay their taxes in a timely manner.

In reference to Fleming's post, I quote Jack Cooley:

There's a competition to see who can charge the tourists the most?
Isn't competition great Dave? We have three more years of this Logic
