[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1946126, member: 7539"] The deal is that non public service businesses were not paying this tax anyway so they are not getting a break, they're just staying the same. public service businesses were the only ones paying this but because of the court ruling making everything equal, it has to be all or none. SO... the thousands of businesses who have never paid this before will actually have a tax increase if the tax is put into effect (and presumably generate MUCH more than this tax did in the past while skinning companies that never paid it and built their models without it). If the tax is not put into effect, then the public service companies will have a tax reduction costing the pool 50M. So... if you vote to not put the tax in effect, the legistature will HAVE to go back to the drawing board and figure it out... THAT is what needs to happen. Do you honestly think they're just going to raise property taxes across the board on citizens to make up the difference? They'll be voted out so quick it will make their heads spin if that happens.
