Revere would still be allowed to collect the surcharge from companies that remain in the city – such

One wouldn't think that a steel-framed parking garage going up at Logan Airport would have much to do with the City of Revere, but that facility under construction at Logan could completely break the City if some sort of compromise isn't reached – and quickly.
extended stay hotels in atlanta The steel-framed facility going up at Logan Airport is the Consolidated Rental Car Facility, known as the CONRAC. Within the next year, one of Revere's largest car rental companies, Thrifty, will move from Lee Burbank Highway to the CONRAC – taking a lucrative $10 per car surcharge fee with it.
That surcharge is the key to funding the $1.1 million per year debt payments for the recently-build Revere extended stay hotels in atlanta Public Safety Facility, extended stay hotels in atlanta and up until now, everyone believed that Revere would be saved by special legislation that would allow the City to continue collecting from Thrifty – despite their relocation.
"The House's legal counsel has identified substantial concerns which have to be worked out prior to it becoming extended stay hotels in atlanta law," said Seth Gitell, spokesman for House Speaker Bob DeLeo (D-Winthrop). "The Speaker looks forward to talking with Mayor Rizzo and the Revere City Council on ways to provide extended stay hotels in atlanta a solution extended stay hotels in atlanta to replacing this lost revenue."
"Legal counsel seems to think this is a Constitutional extended stay hotels in atlanta issue, but I know we're working with the Speaker and the mayor and city council," said Reinstein. "It's kind of something that's never been heard of before – a municipality getting revenue from a business that is not within the City…Maybe in the next few months we can sit down and see what changes can be done to it. If there's anything we can do, we'll do it. I don't know what the answer is now, though."
Revere Director extended stay hotels in atlanta of Finance George Anzuoni said that Thrifty extended stay hotels in atlanta is the biggest contributor to the surcharge fund. All told, once collected from all the city's rental car companies, the surcharge amounts to about $750,000 per year. Most of that come from Thrifty, Anzuoni said, and losing it would mean pretty dire consequences.
extended stay hotels in atlanta "That's going to be a hard hit," said Anzuoni on Tuesday. extended stay hotels in atlanta "Thrifty is pretty much the biggest contributor extended stay hotels in atlanta to the surcharge and we need that money to help with the yearly debt for the Public Safety facility. The surcharge money doesn't even cover the total yearly debt service. If we don't get it from there, we have to get it somewhere else. We're going to have to lose more personnel; that's the only place it can come from and I don't know who it will be we could cut. I hope we can work something out because extended stay hotels in atlanta we were really banking on that legislation."
City Councillor Tony Zambuto had been instrumental in negotiating extended stay hotels in atlanta the passage of the surcharge years ago, as well as its application to specifically fund the new Public Safety Facility debt. Zambuto and the late Councillor George V. Colella extended stay hotels in atlanta had united forces to pass the measure locally.
"It would be devastating, really bad," said Zambuto. "We always knew it would be kind of a stretch to collect revenue from a business that wasn't in our City, but we had no idea there would be a Constitutional question. We are going to have to find a solution."
The CONRAC facility began construction late last year in the Airport's Southwest Service Area. It is a project that is pretty much a requirement of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and is a common thing at most airports across America. The EPA seeks to move all airport-servicing rental car companies onto the airport property into a consolidated facility, eliminating multiple buses and traffic and thus improving the air quality in communities surrounding the airport.
extended stay hotels in atlanta Thrifty officials in Oklahoma did not return multiple calls from the Journal, but in prior stories, they have indicated extended stay hotels in atlanta to the paper that they have every intention of moving extended stay hotels in atlanta to the CONRAC extended stay hotels in atlanta and are potentially required to do so by the EPA if they want to continue servicing the airport – as transportation to the Revere site would be prohibited.
Revere would still be allowed to collect the surcharge from companies that remain in the city – such as Enterprise and Select. However, those operations are much smaller and contribute much less to the fund.
Reinstein said that nothing can be accomplished in the current legislative session, which ends next week on July 31st. However, she said that in the fall she will probably re-file a bill, and that she will help promote talks between the City and all involved parties.
"What we'll need to examine is whether extended stay hotels in atlanta there's some sort of supplemental income to replace it or if we can get MassPort and the City to sit down and work out some kind of agreement," said Reinstein. "It's a shame to see it go, but the Constitutionality was really questioned. We have to try and figure something else out."
Hey Revere go fly a kite. You shouldn t have picked on car rental in the first place. Car rental has nothing to do with the public safety facility and you know it s just easy pickings, but bad tax policy. Now why don t you collect from the constituency the facility actually benefits. You re getting what you deserve.
look at what city employees get paid to teachers and all compared to other cities and towns, Revere still thinks they can pick the bones clean on our dime, did anyone think the relief would help the tax payers, no, line their pockets more wile the rest of us have to bust our asses in traffic, hope they have a job tomorrow and wonder if one can pay for the roof over their heads and put food on the table !
