There’s an interesting debate in Mason right now. Obviously this summer will be one of the slowest tourist seasons due to high gas prices, stalling wage increases and raising benefits. Mason, a city in Ohio that forcefully regulates specific residents within their community by making cost of living rather high, highly depends on tourism. After a 1-3% admission tax being considered for recommendation by the Mason Fiance Committee, Kings Island’s general manager wrote a letter to Mason’s Mayor, Tom Grossman threatening to “de-annex” from Mason.
I’ve always been a staunch supporter of free business. I don’t believe government should be involved with business — making up taxes to cover for reckless spending or laws that, over time, actually close a business (aka, smoke ban crushing smaller bars’ businesses). Furthermore, government is one of the biggest contributors to wasteful spending, illicit partnerships that hurt more people because the government has no one to answer to… businesses answer to their customers and react to market competition, thus keeping their prices manageable (though that argument might not fly for oil companies). And do you really believe that government controlling and managing business is actually a good idea?
Anyway, this is typical Mason intrusion. They will increase, increase, increase assuring that lower income families are forcefully removed from their homes all for putting up stupid little fountains downtown that actually forced two roads to be reconstructed costing, I would bet, millions. Yes, for a stupid little statue with ten blades of grass. Mason likes to acquire more money, spend that money on the most frivolous, unimportant and useless crap.
