Dear concerned sports/entertainment fan:

After taxing our income, our homes and our purchases, the politicians in Lansing want to tax Michigan's favorite pastime - the sports and entertainment industry. I am asking you to stand up with me to SACK THE TICKET TAX.

If enacted, the ticket tax would impose a six-percent, $100 million per year sales tax on not only professional and college sports tickets, but on music, movie and entertainment tickets.

I will deliver the signatures I receive on this Web site to the governor personally, telling her we intend to SACK THE TICKET TAX.

This terrible idea would severely damage the sporting and entertainment industry here in Southeast Michigan, as it is a direct attack against the things Michiganians enjoy most: the Tigers, Red Wings, Lions, Pistons, movies, concerts, etc.

It is unfair and unacceptable to push even more taxes on families and workers and I have serious concerns about the repercussions such a tax could bring.

These taxes are being called a 'luxury tax,' when it really is a quality of life tax. Every day the news is discouraging, covering the ever-increasing budget deficit, the rising unemployment rate and war. Sports and entertainment provide a positive diversion. This isn't a tax on luxury; it's a tax on our fun and the Michigan way of life. . . THIS MUST BE STOPPED!

Please fill out my online petition to SACK THE TICKET TAX and tell Lansing politicians NO.  Together we can stop the ticket tax.

Sincerely,

State Rep. David Law
West Bloomfield, Commerce Township
