Against Please, no new taxes or transactions fees! Jun-02-2011
Against What we do not need now is an economy killing tax on services Jun-01-2011
Against Jun-01-2011
For I hope this passes. Education is in such sad shape in NV. Property taxes have decreased substantially. This transaction tax won't break anyone. Businesses pass the tax on to the consumer, so they aren't being taxed any additional money. Jun-01-2011
Against No New Taxes Jun-01-2011

Against The State is in need of more job creation. This is a tax that will discourage new business. We must not put new taxes on the books until the economy fully recovers. Jun-01-2011
Against NO MORE TAXES---we'll vote you out if you vote "yes" on this bill. Unfair, bad for everyone. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jun-01-2011
Against Jun-01-2011
Against NO NEW TAXES! Jun-01-2011
Against We don't need new taxes, we need to curtail the spending. The government, at all levels, is involved in far to many "social" issues. Let the people deal with social issues while the government deals with infrastructure, schools, public safety, and those types of things. Jun-01-2011

Against What next??? May-27-2011
For As a business manager in Nevada I support revenue increased for education. I have business associates who do business in Nevada and are based in Indiana. They have chosen to expand operations in connecting states instead of Nevada for this reason. You are creating jobs as promised by creating new positions for employees to process unemployment claims for new additions to the state unemployment payroll account. I am sure taxes will go up again to cover unemployment costs associated with this decision. May-26-2011
Against No more taxes or fees on us. Draft and pass a state budget that reduces expenses. Revenues will increase in time. May-25-2011
Against Do we have any Democrats that puts the "welfare" of the taxpayers, who pay the bills, first and really care about them? The price of food, gas and clothing are out of sight, and NV Energy now gets a rate hike, etc., etc. and you want to tax us more!!!!!! A Marxist mentality has taken control of the party!!!!! No state lottery and the lowest casino tax rate in the nation. It's the shaft for the working stiff and kisses for the wealthy casinos. I'm a disgusted Dem who is going to vote against all Dems. May-25-2011
For While the details of the bill need more work, this is something which should have been done a long time ago. Companies offering services are getting a free ride when compared to companies offering goods and when compared to gaming, mining and others. Those businesses objecting to the bill act as if they are being taxed on the services they offer, but they are not. They would pay taxes on services they use, but they would simply be collecting the transaction tax and remitting it to the State. The consumer would pay the tax. The tax system we have now is unfair and this makes it more fair. No New Taxes pledges are great ways to get re-elected if that is the goal, but they are a bad way to help Nevada, which I assumed was the goal. May-25-2011

Against May-24-2011
Against Please stop trying to play Robin Hood by being creative in creating new taxes. Reduce government spending in all areas outside of the fundamental government services of military, police, and the courts. Cut the fat from all other areas of government FIRST before even considering increasing any taxes. Your federal government has reached its limits in printing money to cover overspending, but the rest of the world has taken notice of this fiat scam. Mr. Inflation is finally knocking on our doors. So, we are already paying more...and you want squeeze more taxes. Wealth is created via creative productivity, which historically government knows nothing about. Let your citizens free to produce and trade and your taxes will come. The corrolary has never been true in human socities no matter how big the perceived need. Reduce/Eliminate needs beyond core government services is the only option. Get the courage and do this please for all our sake. Time is running out on faking the fact the government can outspend a society's means. May-24-2011
Against My cost of living and tax burden have been raised to the point that it is extremely hard to make ends meet any new taxes are not welcome. You guys should do the same as I have had to do and reduce spending. May-24-2011
Against May-24-2011
For As a registered republican, member of the Republican Central Committee and former President of Republican's Men Club of Northern Nevada, I am writing to support AB569 (transactions tax on services). Though it will increase taxes, I am convinced that our state cannot continue without supporting education in general and higher education in particular. Other governors such as the Republican governor of Virginia have pumped more money into higher education and recently released statistics indicate that they have been attracting the kind of industries Nevada wants to attract. One major reason cited by business leaders for moving to Virginia is the quality of their higher education system. Nevada has tried to attract new businesses for a long time with some of the lowest taxes in the nation, and has failed to do so. It is time to follow the example of Virginia because education is the engine of economic growth. May-24-2011
Against Why should we, the common citizen of Nevada, be forced to pay for even more waste in the Nevada budget? Let the Democrats cut something for a change and I'm talking about real cuts not the cosmetic cuts to education and worker pensions. May-24-2011
Against May-24-2011
Against Any increase in taxes at this time should not even be considered. I know the liberals want to increase taxes to increase school funding. the problem is everytime the is a problem the answer is increase taxes. We need to increase teacher accountability in the class room and have then rated according to their ability to teach our children. May-24-2011
Against We are the state of Nevada, not California! if you want higher taxes and out of the realms of reality spending please move west! This state has always dealt with the boom and bust nature of the industries that do business here. Instead of trying to copy what other failing states have done, let's accept who we are and what we are - Nevadan's! Work with what you've got, and quit blowing smoke up our collective asses! May-24-2011
Against May-24-2011
For I do not make alot of money but I would not mind paying more taxes knowing the money goes to support local schools. Education is what will help Nevada grow and have a brighter future. May-24-2011

Against Local government as well as federal government need to implement a sound budget and stay within there means with out over taxation, businesses and individuals cant raise there salaries or income when they need additional reveue, its to easy for the goernment to raise taxes every time they need money therefor the frivolous spending continues.

Against This is a punitive tax for every consumer and business in Nevada.This would create a major problem for all businesses in Nevada.Increased labor (accounting, tax form preperation, and tracking of the tax collection). It is very hard for me to make a profit now don't put myself and others in my situation in further jeopardy of going out of business. NO NEW TAXES!! May-20-2011

Against I don't think it is smart to impose a transition tax at this time. With the economy already in such a bad spot, adding more fees to consumers can only discourage them from spending money - which is exactly what is needed to help bring the economy back. May-20-2011

Against Please do not burden NV with more taxes. Make the difficult choices with cut backs. The government has simply grown too big and we have way too many entitlement programs. Get some guts and do what is right for the future of NV. May-20-2011
Against No new taxes. We're barely keeping our heads above water now. As it is I am paying $200/yr. right now for a real estate license I am not even using and I don't collect taxes anyway. The government just wants our money one way or another whether it is reasonable or not. I will vote against anyone who proposes or supports more taxes May-20-2011
Against NO NEW TAXES. Manage what you've got! Firefighter overpay in Clark County is a good example of waste fraud and abuse going on. I'm not inclined to pay more with that sort of lack of management going on. Good for Steve Sisolak. Use him as an example of how to do the job. May-20-2011

Against This bill has so many exceptions to what services would be taxed that the only taxes collected would be by those small service providers who can least afford to add additional paperwork and or time and effort to their already dwindling income. Another state agency will have to be created to monitor the service providers and collect the taxes. You need to find ways to cut the fat from some of the state agencies we already have. Compare the salaries of state workers to those of us in the private sector and you will see inflated salaries for state workers that we are all supporting. May-19-2011
Against We don't need a tax that will just grow each year as this one will. May-19-2011
Against May-19-2011
Against No New Taxes!!! May-19-2011
Against WHY are we making it more difficult for business people to make a living? The sheer paperwork and hours required to comply with this new tax is staggering. AND it is naive to think that people trying to make a living when they are forced to constantly negotiate a commission will be able to pass this to the consumer. To keep the business they have, or the hope thereof, will eat the cost. It is one more tax on small business people who have already taken a huge hit in this economic downturn. May-19-2011
Against No new taxes May-19-2011
Against No New Taxes please. May-19-2011
Against I am against this bill. This is going to far. One of these days I expect to see you tax us for breathing. Under certain conditions it could be a service. First you tax the item I might buy and then add another tax because someone rang up the transaction to buy it. Enough Already Cripes!! May-19-2011

Against Nevada may need an overhaul in how the government is funded, but it should not be done piecemeal, at the end of the legislative session, simply to raise revenue. There are too many other considerations to fully vet a bill of this nature within this timeframe. May-19-2011

Against This is an unfair tax against small business. May-19-2011
Against This bill will inhibit any new businesses from starting or relocating to Nevada, especially by 2013 when this rises to 4%. The scope is so large that it can actually cause businesses to leave the State for places such as Texas where this will not be a burden to the customers of business. May-19-2011
Against No new taxes, we are taxed enough already. Stop with all these new HOA regulations they are costing us homeowners money. Your time should be spent cutting the size of state government and passing a balanced budget. We have too much government in this state and don't need any more HOA regulations. May-19-2011

Against No new taxes...If this passes, all those who vote for it will not stand a chance of re-election. It is bad for our state. This will NOT attract new businesses, new residents, or any entity considering moving to our state. You are tax happy in the legislature and the voters and residents are tired of your power grabs. The Gpovernor said, no new taxes or tax increases. Is the legislature trying to kill business? We have one of the highest unemployment and under employment statistics in the nation...and you want to add more taxes for those lucky enough to work..NO NO NO NO.

Against Don't know enough about the bill so I am just checking "against." I am not, repeat NOT, against new taxes. However, the state must do tax reform. A balanced tax reform will probably tick everyone off if it is well-written. If we are going to continue to receive services we have come to expect(Education is at the top of the list) we have to collectively pay for it. You cannot have economic growth without an educated populace. May-19-2011
Against This bill is a terrible idea! The reporting and bookkeeping requirements for small businesses are difficult enough already... and you want to add more?! This bill must have been written by a CPA or Accountant, since they'll be the real beneficiaries if it passes. May-19-2011

Against Although I'm in favor of increasing taxes instead of cutting funds for education, Medicaid and so many other needed services, this bill is not the way to do it.

Against What happened to no new taxes? Another political promise believed by the very gullible. Also puts a very unfair paperwork burden on all businesses, adding to their costs in this poor economy. When their costs go up, they have no choice but to try to pass it on to consumers (acting like yet another tax) or shutting their doors, putting more people out of work. Obviously, there are no professional qualifications needed to be a state legislator. This is not rocket science. May-19-2011

Against I am against the first part of this bill and for the second part. I support delaying the expiration of the local school tax. Obviously our schools need more financial resources. I am not in favor of a tax to support the prison system. Let the prisoners do some sort of work to bring in revenue...If this service tax was for our school system I would support it 100%. Support our future, support our children and support our teachers and levy this tax for them...otherwise, shred this bill. May-19-2011

Against No New Taxes. If you have to, raise the sales tax or the Mod. Bus. Tax so we don't have to fill out a new form. This is wasteful and demands a whole new bureaucracy. Try auditing the existing taxes. I'm sure there are many who are not paying their fair share as the State never audits. May-19-2011

Against As the owner of a small construction related consulting business, this tax will certainly cause the already high cost of construction in Nevada to increase exponentially. In this down economy where real estate construction is at a historic low I would expect that our State Legislators would be looking at ways to encourage growth. Instead, budgets will be tightened even more, purchases held off, expansions postponed indefinitely, major projects cancelled, additional hiring off the table. To get 1% of service business money, the state will lose thousands if not millions in sales tax revenue, jobs and growth. May-19-2011

Against I have serious concerns as a business owner regarding this bill. How much more will you drain the life blood of the business owner for the sins of those not performing their jobs? When teachers in Nevada go back to teaching perhaps the support will be there to fund the cause. This country was founded as a result of of tactic this bill proposes. What happened to THE PRIDE of our Country. Our State needs to have more business want to come here and not be taxed on every transaction. Do you want to encourge economic and business development? If you do, then this bill must die. If you want to destroy our weakened economy and the future of any growth, vote to approve this bill. I implore you to not pass this bill. May-19-2011

Against Being a real estate agent already costs me too much money. All the fees and costs are going up every day and it's almost impossible to make it in this profession. I'm already unable to support myself in this profession. Broker takes 30%, NNRMLS charges $1400 a year, have to take CE classes that cost money, real estate license $180, all my own marketing costs, gas at $5 a gallon to take clients to look at houses (for free unless they make an offer) and it goes on and on and on.

Against A service tax? Are you crazy? It will inhibit more business growth, so if it does it means that you will not have increased revenue in years ahead unless you keep increasing this tax to make up for lack of new businesses. You folks sure know how to spend the money. You wouldn't run your own households the way you run this state! I AM OPPOSED TO ANY MORE TAXES. STICK WITH SANDOVAL! JUST LET THE SCHOOL SUPPORT TAX EXPIRE. IN FACT ALL YOU LEGISLATORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A FINANCIAL EDUCATION CLASS, AND PASS IT WITHOUT MANIPULATING THE FIGURES. May-16-2011
For May-16-2011
For While I am not normally in favor of increased taxes, I think it is imperative to provide a way for education to get the funding to cover at least the basics. To accept the Governor's proposal of the extreme education cuts would totally destroy the public education system in Nevada. We have 4 kids, 2 who have graduated from the CCSD and 2 who are still in secondary schools here. Please vote to continue support for our schools, to provide the essential basics of education that our children need. With the Governor's proposed cuts, we will lose classes such as aviation & PE, as well as other fine arts electives which have so benefitted our older children. Thank you for your service as legislators. May-16-2011

For Dear Assemblyman Hammond, I am asking you to support passage of AB569. It is time that we address the tax structure in Nevada for the long run. By phasing out the modified business tax we will encourage businesses to start hiring again. Also, this protects education from the harm that would be inflicted if the Governor's budget proposal is inacted. You must protect the debt service reserves to be used as the voters who voted for the school bond intended. Thank you for service. Sincerely, Chris Garvey May-15-2011

For PLEASE WORK TOGETHER TO REFORM OUR STATE'S TAX AND EDUCATION SYSTEM!! It is my understanding this is the beginning of a plan to do just that. As a member of Parent Leaders for Education, I would just like to state I am for passing of this bill. REFORM REQUIRES FUNDING. Being the state with the 4th lowest tax structure has not helped us. It has gotten us where we are today. Thank you. May-14-2011
Against This bill will have a negative effect on the economy. May-13-2011
For My name is Caryn Swobe. I am a parent of a kindergartener in the Washoe County School District. I am also an active Parent Leaders for Education member. As a Republican and small business owner, I support AB 569 as the first critical step toward a long-term solution to our state's education system advancement and economic stabilization. We must fund K-12 to meet the national average for per pupil spending to make permanent reforms such as mandatory pre- and full-day kindergarten, as well as reward teachers for excellence in the classroom. We must stem the tide that leaves us last among states in a nation that is ranking 16th behind other industrialized nations. Our children deserve thoughtful action today, not short-term fixes that simply delay a vote another two years. Cutting program, teachers pay and sweeping construction reserves will set k-12 bad decades. We must work in a true bipartisan manner. I urge you to summon the courage to move beyond political trappings and take the necessary steps to secure stable funding for the sake of our children and our state. Thank you for all your hard work!

Against Another tax plan to tax us into prosperity. I have not held a full time job now for 2 years and would like to continue to live in Nevada. If we follow Michigan's tax planning we will find ourselves in the same toilet as Detroit. We have excesses in the administrative levels of education and are being hammered by the old sickening argument that the "Teachers" are under paid. True enough because the Unions, Education Departments, and Politicians have kept it that way to make sure we fund Education to unsustainable levels. It has been proven that more money is not going to solve the problems in our education system. Let's wake up and figure out that the administration staffs hired by the educators is what's killing us and not the teachers. We need to cut public services just as private industry cuts departments that are not necessary or if they continue performing at a deficiency they go bankrupt. If this bill passes it takes more money out of the consumer's pocket and right now I don't have enough to pay it as I am sure the rest of the State's citizens who have been foreclosed on in record numbers will agree - they don't have it either. Why can't you politicians remember the commitments you made to us taxpayers? A sunset provision means it disappears and not to be replaced by another tax or hey, lets just extend the sunset provisions until we all forget that we promised to sunset the last tax we passed in historic fashion. No wonder we all think there is a stench coming out of Carson City when it comes to funding this State. May-12-2011
