Boot Hill Museum seeks tax funds after hotel tax defeat
Boot Hill Museum officials urge Dodge City and Ford County to use a dedicated economic development sales tax to cover deficits. They proposed raising the city hotel tax from 6 to 7 percent to boost the museum’s 2004 05 budget of about 867000 funded mainly by admissions and gift shop sales. Barngrover notes such funding is unusual for museums and cites long standing budget pressures.
