DETROIT – Detroit voters were asked during a recent poll if they believe admission tax on concerts and sporting events should be increased to help reduce property taxes.
Here’s the exact wording of the question, which was asked over the phone: One idea being discussed would place a ten percent admissions tax on concerts and sporting events in Detroit generating $47 million per year that would be used to reduce city property taxes by 5.7%. The new tax would require a referendum approved by Detroit voters. Would you support or oppose increasing the admissions tax on concerts and sporting evenings by ten percent and using the revenue to reduce property taxes?
Participants were then asked: Would that be strongly support/oppose or just somewhat support/oppose?…
