The Interpreter Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The headline is from an Evansville newspaper last week: ...The president of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari said he'll fight any effort to put a tax on park guests to fund a water project for Santa Claus, Ind. Will Koch said the theme park is willing to pay "our fair share, or even more than our fair share" for a plan to develop a new water source for the Spencer County community."The difference of opinion is what a fair share is," Koch said. Discussion of that point has dominated several recent town meetings... http://www.courierpress.com/news/2007/oct/...ight-water-tax/ More recently, and by the same author: http://www.courierpress.com/news/2007/nov/...aking-a-splash/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 It is amazing on how some municipalities will try and take larger portions of the pie from the largest tourist attraction in the area. Don't these people think about how much money is brought into the community by those 1 million park guests from May to October? Now take those tourists away and what is going to happen to your community? You won't have to worry about a new firehouse. And people (including myself) continuously wonder why some things like park food is so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
