Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Counsel
I am opposed to raising hotel taxes at this time.
However,
I would rather have any new money go to the City rather than the County.
Any new deal with the City Counsel should include their pledge to continue putting the
same percentage bed tax money into advertising.
I resent being forced to pay the credit card fee to collect city money. Any new deal
should make the city pay credit card fees.
