Oh this is just the beginning of a state wide sales tax. This isn't even going out on a limb to see what's going to happen here. Some towns tax, others do not. Towns that tax are going to drive business away to towns that don't tax. Towns that tax, well they tax more, get into an even bigger financial hole, sue the state because they feel as though they are loosing business to the "richer" tax free towns. State supreme court rules that the state needs to be the one to set a state wide sales tax to "level the playing field". Thus we end up with a state wide sales tax court ordered and without the finger prints of any politician.
BTW they will expand this to an all out sales tax because it will be considered unconstitutional to limit this tax to just restaurants and hotel
Don't scoff at this, you know darn well it's not that inconceivable.
