Reader calls for bed tax rise in Oswego County Legislature
A reader writes to the editor expressing disappointment that Oswego County Legislature did not discuss raising the local bed tax from 3 percent toward 5 or 6 percent. They claim higher bed tax could generate about 300000 dollars annually to support tourism, with outsiders paying most costs while residents benefit little from exemptions for residential capital improvements. The letter urges contacting legislators to discuss the measure and opposes current tax-exemption law.
