ADVOCACY BRIEFS

Take Action to Protect TLT Investments: Two harmful bills have a public hearing May 8 at 3pm before the House Committee on Revenue. Please submit written testimony opposing both HB 3962 and HB 2977 - they shift vital funds away from tourism and jeopardize local economic development tied to lodging and travel.

Tillamook Tax Proposal: The county wants to impose a 40% TLT increase even though Tillamook County's tourism industry is opposed to this increase and urging local government to find another solution to their budget problem without targeting our industry.
