Not to be outdone by a Republican, Mayor Gray has issued his counter-proposal to the Martin Plan.The article currently on Lancaster Online is rather lacking in detail.
The Gray plan allegedly calls for concessions from all of the same stakeholders but includes an immediate increase in the hotel (bed) tax to 5.0% (1.1% in additional tax from the current 3.9%).
Obviously, everyone else must get off a little easier if the hotels are forced to kick in even more money for a project that does nothing for them and has them underwriting their competition.
Sounds like a plan Mr. Mayor. Why should the City pay more for a project that only they might be benefiting from?
EDITOR: Mayor Gray should keep in mind the parable of the goose that lays the golden egg.
Mayor Gray is nothing more than another puppet mouthpiece for PSP. He better start paying closer attention to the ineffectiveness of his police chief and police investigators in (NOT) solving major crimes within the city.
