Texas Governors Gives Texans Affected By Ike A Break
2008 September 15
Texas Governor Rick Perry offered Texans affected by Hurricane Ike a new kind of tax break: no hotel taxes.
Governor Perry has suspended hotel taxes for 14 days in response to the mandatory evacuations from Hurricane Ike. The emergency proclamation waived all state, city and county hotel occupancy taxes through September 21st. The waiver is retroactive to September 8th; victims of the hurricane and relief workers can apply for a refund for taxes previously paid.
My thoughts are prayers are with those affected.
(Sorry, and tacky or not, I can’t write a post about Texas without adding at the end… Go Eagles!)
Thanks for all of the great information you bring us.
