No lodging tax increase on Camden's November ballot

After receiving input from Camden County accommodation businesses, the Lake of the Ozarks Area Business District of Camden County Advisory Board has decided not to place a measure on the November ballot seeking a 2 percent increase in the lodging tax.

According to Jim Divincen, Tri-County Lodging Association executive director, the Advisory Board mailed 176 surveys to lodging business owners in Camden County asking how they felt about placing the issue on the ballot.
