twitterCasinos ‘strongly support’ new tax revenue in Nevada
Wednesday, June 19, 2002 | 11:48 a.m.
The Nevada Resort Association, the main lobbying group for big Las Vegas Strip casino resorts, said it recognizes state revenue needs to increase but is reiterating concerns about tax equity in Nevada.
"Nevada is experiencing funding deficits due to its narrow tax base and growing demand for state services," the NRA said Tuesday. "The gaming industry strongly supports efforts to raise new revenue as long as taxes are equitably distributed, broad-based and measure taxpayers' ability to pay."
"The gaming industry, Nevada's largest taxpayer, stands ready to pay its fair and proportionate share of any new taxes in the same manner, and to the same extent, as any other Nevada business," NRA President Bill Bible said. "These new taxes, however, should not be aimed at any individual citizens, and appropriate safeguards or exemptions must be put in place to protect Nevada's small business owners."
