Lansing voters asked to approve increase in hotel/motel tax

In addition to choosing candidates for city government Tuesday, November 3, Lansing voters will be asked if they support an increase in the hotel/motel tax from two percent to seven percent (Public Measure A). If approved, the increase is expected to generate an additional $10,000 annually, at least half of which would be used to create or improve facilities to attract tourism to the City and surrounding areas. The remaining funds could be used to pay for any City operations authorized by law.
