Lake George aka Warren County is enjoying a current boom for sure. Whether it can be placed at the feet of the Occupancy Tax, we'll never know.

It hasn't hurt tourism in the county (or certainly a lot less than reelecting Bush did ). Seriously, no one even notices except the local organizations and events that now have the funds necessary to keep their events running, attract new participants with better developed events, expand their marketing reach, etc. Despite all the whining from the business community, the Warren County bed tax can be considered nothing but a huge success, by any objective measure.
