From NY Governor, A 4 Percent Tax B'way Doesn't Need
"Facing 'Black Tuesday' - when the first six of 13 shows slated to close go dark on Jan. 6 - Broadway has been hit with a final indignity: a 4 percent tax on theater tickets." The item is part of Gov. David Paterson's list of proposed taxes and tax increases. "Executives say the fee could be the final blow to an industry reeling from dwindling ticket sales."
