from eTurbo News:

Tourism officials in California hope that gays from around the country will opt to get married in sunny California, infusing money into the fiscally-challenged state.

The LA Times, my local paper now that I've moved, reports that Los Angeles may institute a new hotel tax. Meanwhile, Portland, one of my favorite cities, has the lowest taxes on visitors of the 50 major city destinations in the U.S.A. Is this proposed L.A. tax really a good idea?
