I am pretty sure there is a previous thread on this, but evidently a Michigan lawmaker "wooing" Jack Daniels to move to Michigan if this tax gets on the ballot and is passed. What really P****D me of was this:
The citizen pushing for the tax, Charles Rogers, has likened the $10 fee to the "usage" fees film companies pay for filming in a particular location. According to Rogers, the company has built its image around the town of Lynchburg and should give more back to the community.
"We are entitled to more money from the only industry in the county," he told Fox News in an earlier interview, arguing that the money could go toward new schools, roads and bridges.
County officials may be leery of the consequences of such a tax, though.
Do you think this guy also believes in wealth redistribution? What happens when "the only industry in the county" moves? If this tax proposition gets on the ballot and passes, I hope JD moves out of the area. f-em! Rant Off
Heck, I have eighty acres I would gladly allow a distillery on. Could you imagine, Jack Daniel, made in (cough) beautiful Gosport Indiana???
