These tourism grants are being funded from hotel room fees and rental property fees. It has nothing to do with schools or with property taxes.

These room taxes have to be spent on things that bring visitors into the county. I disagree with some of the grants, but I'm not in charge of that. What I'd like to know is whether there were any proposals submitted that did not get funded.
