Taxation Without Representation?
Angel Fire is apparently going to build a new sports complex of softball and soccer fields. It is a worthy goal to provide areas for children and adults to recreate. It appears that the plan is moving forward, though there is some negative commentary about its funding.
It seems that the funding for the project will come from an increase in lodging taxes. The new rate will be 15% in Angel Fire. There are those in real estate and lodging who believe that it will negatively impact the lodging industry there. It might, as that's more than a night's stay on a weekly rental. It is human nature to avoid as much conflict as possible, so it's always easier to tax non-residents. The only problem is that, sooner or later, it will impact the residents anyway.
