CROWLEY, Texas - The Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) is expecting to have its best Spring Meeting & Tradeshow yet, covering important government affairs updates involving property taxes, early school start dates and tourism funding. The meeting starts on the afternoon of Sunday, April 22, at the Lake Conroe / Houston North KOA in Montgomery, Texas, and ends April 24. The three-day meeting will include a legislative roundtable with Ron Hinkle, TACO’s legislative consultant, as well as Rep. Matt Krause, who serves on legislative committees for culture, recreation and tourism as well as land and resource management.
According to Jamie Macready from Industry E-News, Rep. Krause will also discuss efforts by the Texas Legislature to redirect transient occupancy tax revenue to the general fund and ways to prevent that from happening so that these funds continue to be exclusively used for tourism promotion. To lighten the tension up a bit, on Sunday afternoon there will be a happy hour and the opening of the official tradeshow, which includes 45-50 companies (a large numbers of technology companies as well as park model RV manufacturers, several of which have production facilities in Texas).
