add 2 to 4 cents to the hotel occupancy tax for funding of the ballpark. After all, as you noted that's how it's being done in El Paso. Of course, in Wilmigton, you might need to add a dime.
But wait. It still has to be approved by the voters.
AND, the hotel/motel owners association is squealing like stuck pigs.
Why would that be? After all, according to you, there will be new hotels needed and increased occupancy for all the ball fans who will stay in town. Right?
I think that's a great idea Duke
