• Prairie Oaks Inn owner urges Reno County to reject proposed transient guest tax (hutchpost.com) — Reno County is weighing a new 10% transient guest tax on lodging outside Hutchinson and South Hutchinson, and a local inn owner is urging commissioners to vote it down. He argues the plan would burden small rural operators while helping finance the Salt Lick resort and wants more transparency, stronger oversight, and a sunset date if the tax advances.
