http://qui.live.mediaspanonlinen.com/rss/ Quincy Herald Whig en-us Pike County Board Chairman Scott Syrcle hopes a letter will encourage businesses to comply voluntarily with the state's accommodations tax. The Illinois Department of Revenue notified the county that several businesses might fall under the law requiring locations providing lodging on a temporary basis to pay the hotel/motel tax. The state returns a portion of the tax collections to counties, based on a formula, to promote tourism efforts. The Pike County Board on Tuesday approved a resolution again authorizing the Quincy Area Convention and Visitors Bureau to represent the county in its efforts to promote tourism. The resolution covers the 12-month period beginning July 1. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/pike-board-letter-WED
