In Iowa City and Coralville the two mayors favor local option taxes more than voters. They describe hotel motel taxes as potentially helpful but note strong opposition from Coralville hoteliers and wary public sentiment amid shrinking property tax revenues and national economic gloom.
Pogue argues local option taxes can share costs of services and limit property tax burden. He notes national and Iowa revenue mixes, discusses admin ease of add-on taxes, and suggests charges for users of fire protection and park maintenance as alternatives.
