Another day...another tax...on events?

Another day, another proposed tax. New Jersey state legislators are considering a new tax on event tickets of as much as 5 percent per ticket to help offset costs associated with increased traffic and public safety concerns in cities where arenas and stadiums are located.

Why do we never pick up the paper and ready about our legislators cutting out of control state spending? How about rescinding the 274 million dollars Governor Corzine spent WITHOUT any legislative approval for three stem cell labs that the voters rejected. How many ticket taxes need to be collected to add up to 274 million dollars.

I wonder...
