It was passed last night in house legislature that the 30% increase could take effect. The bill still needs to make its way through the senate. This isn't just an additional sales tax my friends it is a FLOOR tax. That means the guys I work for would probably have to come up with the neighborhood of $250k to stay in business. This will put many shops out of business the one I'm working at included.
I don't care if you're from PA or not contact the PA state senators and try and talk some sense into them. Throw some stats about sales taxes and the big boys in PA like Holts, CI, and Famous all having plans to move sales to Florida if this tax is passed. There will be thousands of jobs lost if this is allowed to pass.
Now is the time to fight. I happen to like my job, a lot, and I don't want to lose it to the asshole politicians that have somehow been elected to public office in my state.

Call, email, whatever, they need to hear from people. As many as possible, especially those of us in PA.
The bill to reference is HB1531.
