If you ever stay in any other cities,,just take a look at the total on your bill. They have them just as high.

Well, to those who voted yes--thanks. For those who voted no, I hope you'll get involved in shaping the final product rather than just commenting on it here.

Cost of the election? (How much did each vote cost?)

rodinman 2 years, 3 months ago

The cost of the election is important. However, the increased lodging tax eill end costing the tax paying citizens of JC at least $100,000 per year per the agreement beetween the city and the proposed hotel owners. Maybre I can sell my house before my taxes go up to cover this *()&^^&%^&.
