Good to see some muscled & vocal opposition to these confiscatory hotel & motel taxes.

Hotel & Motel taxes are taxation without representation. It's just a way to shakedown visitors to cities, who can't vote.

Absolutely agreed. I find hotel taxes to be among the most egregious shakedowns there are. Hotels undoubtedly already pay property taxes to the county where they are sited to pay for the services used. There is no justification for these taxes other than to gouge the traveler who is supposedly coming to the town to spend money anyway.
