Best and Worst Cities For Traveler Taxes
Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 18 October 2012 8:28 AM
The Wall Street Journal looks at the best and worst cities for traveler taxes in this morning’s paper. Cities love these taxes because they are imposed on people who have no vote against the politicians who impose them. Chicago tops the worst list, taxing visitors $40 on a typical one-night visit (car + meal + hotel). Portland, Oregon tops the best list.
