New Tourist Bill Proposed by Sen Sullivan
Sen William A Sullivan says financing for a proposed Tourist Promotion Agency should come from pari mutuel betting proceeds. A House bill to create the agency would use gas tax funds, but Sullivan warns the plan could cost up to 3 million dollars in federal road funds over five years if highway money is diverted. Proponents argue tourist revenue would repay the gas tax, but Sullivan contends no federal match would be lost if pari mutuel returns fund the bureau.
