Holiday World Vows To Fight Water Tax


Recommended Posts

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...

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.
