Make visitors to the city pay for it.
Check out this article: http://calgaryherald.com/news/local-...tel-rooms-sold
It's hard to find a reliable number of the actually number of hotel rooms in Calgary, but if the average is 3 million a year sold, that's an extra $3MM in toward the arena fund. I've read Calgary has 11,000 hotel rooms but not sure how true that is. |
inefficient tax on business.
where are the fiscal conservatives tired of being taxed to death?
Why should my business that has absolutely nothing to do with a proposed arena be forced to incur greater costs to travel to the city of Calgary?
Is it just because my faceless business has a bunch of money and can afford it?
