They should really consider the other revenues that the out-of-staters bring to the state in the form of everything from fishing licenses, boat registration fees, patronage of myriad local businesses, patronage of the state liquor stores (big enough that they place them strategically in highway rest stops -- something that folks down here in Pennsylvania still don't believe!), gas taxes, highway tolls, etc.

I think we're already doing our share to support the state economy. Wanna tax something worthwhile? Institute a McMansion or BMF Boat tax.

Luxury tax. Ridiculous.
