Bill Marriott and his compatriots in the hospitality industry were supposed to have met with the feds today to present some plan for helping the industry. I'm not sure this industry's request would be met with the same good result that the airline bailout was, but the whole scene is rather interesting. Was thinking about what the hotels might ask the government to do, and the only thing I could think of that makes any sense to me is a tax-relief measure. They could also ask their local/state governments for some tax relief, maybe.

I got a $38 rate last spring at the same Marriott, so things have gotten a little cheaper. Of course both then & now are off-season anyway, and Marriott is a top notch operation, always has been, but a line must be drawn as to just what kind of business should be given assistance in relation to the NYC attack. You should catch Chicago's mayor Daley whine. Him and his group of insiders are getting jumpy, as biz at O'Hare field and the Chicago hotels is so far down it is off the chart. And he wants to spend countless $$billions to expand O'Hare...Sure, good luck. This is the same genius trust that wants to re-name Soldier Field. For a fee, of course.
