Lodging tax measure approved for ballot in Colorado city
Loveland voters will decide in November it they want a 3 percent tax on nightly hotel stays to fund a variety of activities. The Loveland City Council approved the ballot measure for a lodging tax Tuesday in a narrow 5-4 vote after some councilors said they believe the measure will fail. If approved by voters, the 3 percent tax would generate between $320,000 to $400,000 annually that would fund community events and promote efforts to bring tourists, conventions and related activities.
