Hot Rod Power Tour debt has Muskegon County tourism advisers delaying future event funding | MLive.com
Accommodation Tax Advisory Committee members delayed decisions on six requests for assistance from the county tourism event marketing program until a decision on the Hot Rod Power Tour payment accounting is decided. The committee only has $10,000 a year to support local festivals and events.
Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee member Bryon Mazade, who is Muskegon's city manager, questioned how the county got stuck paying bills for a private organization.
The county stepped in to satisfy the vendors, keep the county credit rating from being damaged and to ensure the Muskegon will again be considered as stop on the Hot Rod Magazine’s annual national tour as was the case in 2012 and 2011, county officials have explained.
