1) Re: 2011 Senate Bill 143 (Earmark certain sales tax revenue ) by Dave Scerbak on February 18, 2011I agree. Since when did it become the role of our state government to tax the general population in order to run advertisements on behalf of a specific industry? Why should tourism get preferential treatment to other industries? What kind of precedent is this and where does it end? I neither ask nor want government to do as much for my business thank you.
Why can't the tourism industry pay for their own ads, like every other industry?
