They are called “Nevadans for Fair 9 Percent Gambling Tax Revenue” and have every intention to collect 72,352 signatures by November 13, so that their proposal will be discussed before the next legislature.
Proposal that would raise the levy to which they are subject to the Casino Las Vegas from 6.75% to 9%. Another blow to the city of gambling, which only in recent months was beginning to emerge from a long crisis. A tax increase could reverse the trend again.
