HB 441 any thoughts? My biggest concern for this, besides the regulatory costs for so many service providers who are solo operations on low margins, is the potential windfall for local sales taxing authorities.
Local taxes range from 1.2% to 4%. By increasing the base tax base for the state, which doesn't drop down to 3.1 until after 10 months to study it at 3.9 to make sure revenues stay up, you increase the base for the locals which are not decreasing their rates. In my cursory reading last night, I didn't see any restriction on local sales tax of the new base. So unlike the politicians are telling us, all the services and pyramiding possibilities are not just a 3.1% raise in cost to the consumer, but a 5.1% to 7.9% increase in cost of those services to consumers, with the possibility that it drops to a 4.3% to 7.1% hit 10 months later if some bureaucrat thinks the revenue is sustainable. FAT CHANCE!
I have not read it in depth enough so I may have missed any restriction on the local tax collection of the expanded base, but that is my biggest problem with it right now. It is being sold as a 3.1% price jump for consumer services, when in reality it appears to be much much more.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

I see the state legislators carved out an exemption for real estate. Jerks."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Spencer Cox is going to run for governor. I’ll be voting for him. He’s another Republican I can get behind. I voted for Herbert last time around primarily because of Cox.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz also said he is pulling his support.
"I'm out," Chaffetz told 2News in a live 2News interview Friday. "I'm just so disappointed."
Chaffetz said based on text messages he's received Friday evening, he believes other national Republicans will follow suit and dump Trump. He also said he did not know who he will vote for in November -- only that it won't be Trump or Clinton.
"I can't endorse somebody who acts and thinks like this," Chaffetz said.
You don't stab your own party members in the back... Who did he think he was? John McCain?
Good thing he resigned. All those Utah GOP'ers that voted for Drumpf would have canned him for sure."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
