| The Issue |
| Hoteliers want to keep a 2 percent charge on San Diego hotel visitors’ bills around for the next 40 years. |
| Why It Matters |
| The charge allows hoteliers to promote San Diego, but also likely keeps the city from raising taxes on visitors to pay for general city services. That’s compounded by a proposed Convention Center expansion that would be financed with another boost. |
| What’s Next |
| City Council will vote Monday to take the first step in renewing the charge, but more votes will follow. |
