Am a little fuzzy on this but isn't the money that goes to the Chamber/CVB from the voter approved Hotel/Motel tax? Or are these funds on top of the tax?

I would have just as much problem if they took money from that dedicated tax and diverted it to something else (as they appear to have done with the 3/4 public safety tax to the tune of $18M/year (mol) for at least the past 8 years.
