@aiea7:  Oh you mean disgusting and despicable like how the pro-rail folks years ago stated time and time again that the rail project will ONLY cost $5.3 Billion and when the costs escalated to the currently estimated $10 Billion, they ignore that they were completely wrong and double down and now say we should build this thing no matter what it costs by extending the GET even further (forever if it were up to them, but thank goodness it isn't) which hurts the poor, but is no problem for them because they are laughing all the way to the bank?  If you're going to increase taxes even further, it should come mostly from an increase in the TAT instead of the GET since the Hotels can afford it (despite them complaining that it would hurt tourism) and half the route directly benefits them.  They should also consider raising taxes on owners and operators of timeshares as well.
