West Virginia Governor to sign bill allowing raise in hotel tax from 3% to up to 6 %.
Gov. Joe Manchin said Thursday he’ll sign a bill allowing Charleston and other cities to raise their hotel-motel taxes, from the current 3 percent to as much as 6 percent. The Governor said, “It’s mostly out-of-state people who pay the tax.”, reported The Charleston Gazette.
In Charleston, Mayor Danny Jones has said he intends to use much of the additional $1 million in annual revenue to recruit conventions and conferences to the city.
