re: New state law requires all ticketed events to be taxed- including athletics

To those who don't understand sales tax collection. Having a "clean" penny is a good thing. Clean meaning it is collected in transactions without exemption. The problem is the percentage. The state is in a really bad spot so they raised the percentage as well. It's good tax policy to not have thousands of exemptions, but we need to lower the rate. Our state is so far behind over states in terms of overall tax policy. We desperately need to broaden the base and lower the rate across the board...sales, income, property etc.
