Station Casinos turns to
extortion to force big new tax on NevadansTargets pro-chamber vendors
with un-American Blacklist
As reported in the Las Vegas
Review-Journal:
The first move for Station Casinos bosses angered by elements of the
business community fighting the gaming industrys preferred tax plan was quitting the
Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, a step the locals gaming giant announced June 5.
Move two for the company is identifying which Station vendors are
also chamber members, a step Station President Lorenzo Fertitta said June 13 could result
in the locals gaming giant transferring its business to companies that arent
fighting the casino business.
Station executives have already been asked to compile a list of
all vendors that are chamber members.
I dont know what were going to do with (the
list), Fertitta said Thursday. But if there are companies that are
specifically targeting (the casino business), trying to avoid paying taxes, then I
imagine wed look for another vendor.
