Knock Me Over With A Feather

The Tennessee Center For Policy Research comes out in opposition to the Bredesen administration’s “technical corrections” bill:

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research condemns an intrusive $30.3 million tax increase proposed Monday by the Tennessee Department of Revenue. The proposal, known as the “technical corrections bill,” taxes gym memberships and complimentary hotel breakfasts, as well as iTunes and other media downloads. Further, the bill recommends a $15 million tax on commercial rents collected by family-owned, non-corporate entities, which were previously untaxed in Tennessee.

“The Department of Revenue claims the technical corrections bill isn’t a tax increase, but that’s ridiculous,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson. “Thirty million dollars won’t fall from the sky, it’ll come out of the pockets of hard working Tennesseans.”
