Carson City sets May hearing on fair and recreation board
Ormsby County Commissioners will hold a public hearing May 19 on enacting an ordinance creating a fair and recreation board and a five percent room tax. Carson City, which already had a five percent room tax, faced motel owner opposition and a suit to overturn the levy. The hearing on the suit was delayed until the county acts on the ordinance. The proposed ordinance would earmark the tax for fair and recreation purposes.
