Late Night PCN Viewing: Amusement Tax Edition

In lieu of CSI: Miami I'm watching the Pennsylvania House on PCN. Rep. Ellis and Rep. Levdansky went at it hammer and tongs over a proposed amendment regarding a rollback of the amusement park tax at selected amusement parks. Rep. Ellis is a proponent of the amendment. Rep. Levdansky's district is the home of Kennywood, one of the parks in question. Rep. Levdansky would like us to know that, among other things, the park is now owned by a Spanish company and notes that Spain has removed its troops from Iraq. He does not like the idea of lowering their taxes. Rep. King also speaks in opposition, as another of the parks is in his district and is owned by Anheuser Busch, a firm that he does not think needs a tax break especially as it might affect the taxes paid by his constituents. The amendment goes down.

We have now moved on to flood control. Rep. Reichley is asking about permits which have an acronym, which, when asked, he cannot define.

The laptops battery is running down and so is mine. That's all for today.
