Bad ideas always have legs

Monday, October 12th, 2009

The following item is on the Newport City Council docket for next Wednesday at 6:30 pm in City Hall:

10.  Requesting the City’s Legislative Delegation to research the legality of assessing a fee for watercraft tying to docks and piers in Newport Harbor – C. Duncan

I am concerned that if the city starts another ‘tax’ on boaters it will be a further disincentive for people to come to Newport which already has an additional 1% meal and beverage tax in place. Although not specifically mention in the docket item,  could it be extended to moorings as well as having to pay an annual mooring fee?
We need a good turn out to monitor and probably oppose this idea from going any further so please spread the word to your constituency.

– brought to our attention by our PRO, Dr. Wallace. Thanks!
