The sponsor's argument

Why Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick says this is needed

Several counties and municipalities throughout New York State presently impose an occupancy tax. The village of Atlantic Beach has requested this same authority. Particularly during these difficult economic times, some municipalities need additional non-property tax sources of revenue to fund the basic services to keep their communities safe and properly serviced. This legislation will assist the village to fund necessary services.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
