Hello my name is __________. I am calling to urge Senator Hastings to support Senate Bill 3489. This legislation would prohibit local governments from assessing additional local taxes on video gaming.

The so-called penny push tax will hurt businesses and hurt consumers. It will chip away at an industry that has been a great addition to my business. I do not want my customers to lose interest in the machines we have at our facilities simply because the Village of Tinley Park  mistakenly thinks they deserve more tax revenue from video gaming. My business is a net positive for Tinley Park. I sincerely fear my customers will go elsewhere to play in communities that do not have punitive taxes that drive down payouts. This will hurt my business.

Please stop the Player Push Tax by supporting Senate Bill 3489. Thank you.
