Wynn's art tax loophole will become a budgetary hemorrhage. Senate Bill 521 makes a bad situation
worse. The Nevada Tax Commission, following the mandates of the
1997 law and normal rulemaking practices, defined tax exempt

so that just about anything might qualify as art. [To read the entire article, click on the dice.] |

City newspaper endorses Neal gaming tax hike — Nevada's capital city newspaper, the Carson
City Nevada Appeal, has endorsed Sen. Joe Neal's proposal to hike
the gross gaming tax on the state's largest, most profitable casinos.
The Appeal is the first daily to endorse the proposal, joining Nevada's
two alternative weeklies, Las Vegas City Life and the Reno News &
Review. This comes on the heels of news of a record January for Reno-Sparks
casinos and a 16.6 percent gain for Nevada gambling over January of
1998. The January win statewide totaled $807.2 million, according
to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. "January was the first time clubs went over $800 million in any month since the board started compiling the monthly win reports in 1983," according to the Associated Press.
