Denver voters may get a chance to raise taxes on rental cars and hotel rooms this November, according to the Rocky Mountain News editorial staff [June 27, 2005, "Tourism, yes, but without the tax hikes"]. From the editorial, "It's not fair and it's not right: Hike the taxes on just a couple of tourist-related industries in order to benefit all businesses that cater to tourists. But that's exactly what the Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau would like to do. The bureau is preparing a November referendum for the city ballot that would boost the tax on rental cars and hotel rooms in order to raise an extra $5.8 million a year. The money would be used to promote the city's attractions around the nation."
Here's a link to past coverage of the issue from Coyote Gulch.
