With the expiration of the Badger State Winter Games' contract, the Village of Rothschild is looking at shifting the .5% room tax from the Wausau/Central Wisconsin Convention and Visitors Bureau that was earmarked for the Badger State Games to fund other local organizations and recreational entities.

The CVB is the only entity in our area whose sole job is to promote tourism and the only one whose budget is funded entirely by room tax dollars. With local tourism down, including leisure and business, now is the time to reinvest those room tax dollars into creating new tourism and in turn having a larger room tax fund for next year. Please see attached documents for more information.

In recognition of the importance of a healthy tourism industry to the many businesses and over 4,000 employees it supports, I/we call on the Village of Rothschild to continue the investment of the 0.5% room tax to develop and host major sports tournaments in the Central Wisconsin area through the Sports Authority program proposed by the Wausau/Central Wisconsin Convention & Visitors Bureau.
