Gov. Jennifer Granholm proposes budget with tax hikes, including extension of sales tax to sports, entertainment tickets
"Gov. Jennifer Granholm has offered up a $685 million revenue package to balance the 2010 budget that includes an assortment of tax hikes that lawmakers have yet to accept or have rejected in the past.
Chief among the tax proposals is an extension of the 6 percent sales tax to sports and entertainment tickets that would generate an estimated $87 million. Fortunately for opponents, the notickettax.com Web site set up in 2007 the last time Granholm suggested the idea was never taken down."

Voracious!
