The Blanchard Town Bill
Blanchard town could add a tax on hotel stays
Authorizes the town of Blanchard to levy a hotel occupancy tax
Bad for everyday people ·
The bill would let the town of Blanchard charge a tax on hotel rooms, making stays cost more for travelers.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the town adds a hotel tax, guests will pay higher prices, which could hurt tourism and make trips more expensive. The town would get extra money, but ordinary people would feel the pinch.
