Skilled Gaming machines
 

I currently have 20 skilled gaming machines between four locations.  The proposed tax of $1,200 per machine per month will completely wipe out our profits as one of our restaurants is a seasonal location and does not bring in enough revenue to support this tax.  If this becomes law, the end result will be I will have to lay off three people that take care of the machines and return all the machines to the manufacturer. In short, the substantial losses to my restaurants and businesses from covid-19 will go from bad to worse.  PLEASE, IF YOU MUST TAX THE MACHINES MAKE IT REASONABLE!!
