The El Paso County Democratic Party encourages you to flutter your fan and vote Yes on 2A. This measure would introduce a 5% lodging tax on those passing through our lovely town of Monument, raising a tidy $220,000 a year. And what shall the town do with these newly gained funds, you ask? Why, they’ll be lavished upon town parks and the business of tax collection itself, of course. A cunning way to let the tourists pay for our local pleasures, no? I dare say, it’s hard to argue with a bit of beautification on someone else’s dime.
