Jeff--It does seem that many people think this timeshare authority is a bad idea. I posted a link to the Daily Herald story about this earlier this week, including a link to an editorial . According to that editorial, the weekly timeshare tax was only supposed to go up a few dollars, from $50 to around $56. I had heard that this thing was supposed to cost $200 for every week of t/s, but that wasn't mentioned in the DH story or the editorial. In fact, as I said, the editorial said the t/s tax was to go up only slightly. A few dollars increase is one thing, $200 a week is quite another. I would be interested to know what the true proposal is.
