Mason council says "no" to additional Kings Island taxes
MASON, Ohio -- Mason City Council votes down the proposed 3 percent ticket and 5 percent parking tax legislation aimed at Kings Island.
Dayton Daily News reporter Denise G. Callahan says more than 200 people attended last night's council meeting.
Had the tax passed, a Kings Island gold season pass, which includes parking, would have cost an additional $3 for their $99.99 pass. Park-goers would have had pay an extra $2 for a parking pass.
The biggest proponent of the taxes, Councilman Tony Bradburn, voted against both the proposed 3 percent ticket and 5 percent parking tax legislation.
The more than $2 million the tax would have generated would have been used to pay for infrastructure improvements and emergency services, city officials said.
