TELL MASON CITY COUNCIL YOU DON'T WANT TO BE TAXED!
If Mason City councilman Tony Bradburn has his way, it will cost you more money to attend Kings Island in 2010.
An attempt to impose a 3-percent admissions and 5-percent parking tax was made at the most recent Mason City Council meeting November 9 without the park’s knowledge - and without your knowledge.
Bradburn, chairman of Mason’s finance committee, has been a staunch advocate of higher taxes on businesses including the promotion of the admissions tax since joining council. To consider such an “anti-business” proposition in today’s economic climate makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
A final vote is expected on Monday, November 23. If the tax passes, increases will go into effect for the 2010 season.
To voice your opinion on being assessed an admissions and parking tax when you visit Kings Island, attend the November 23 Mason City Council meeting held in the Mason City Building located at 6000 Mason-Montgomery Road. The open to the public meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm. Mason council can also be reached by phone at 513-229-8500 or via email at council@masonoh.org.
Thank you for supporting Kings Island and other area businesses. We look forward to seeing you at the park in 2010.
