Although we don't usually report on Marana goings on, we couldn't help but notice the town will be discussing raising its bed tax from 3% to 6%, the same as Tucson & Oro Valley.
What we found more interesting was their thought of excluding the new Ritz-Carlton Resort from this increase.
We wonder---- Does the Marana Town Council know anything about the pending Supreme Court decision on the CityNorth case?
You know---- the case the Goldwater Institute won in the lower court that stated, in essence, you can't violate the Az Constitution by giving preferential treatment to one entity and not others.
I guess Marana feels that the Ritz deserves special treatment while all their other hotel/motel properties can "suck wind."
We'll watch how this turns out.
Here's The Explorer article.
