Rick Abare describes impact of Maine tax law

(March 27, 2012) -- Abare noted there are 23,000 campsites in Maine, of which a sizeable percentage are occupied by RVers who he implied may boycott the state if they face an additional tax for using an RV in Maine. Currently, the state collects a 7 percent lodging tax every night someone stays at a campground. At just $35 per night for a 100-night season, the state would lose more than $560,000 in lodging tax alone if RVers were to avoid the state, said Abare.
