City seeks bill to tax performing arts center tickets: "The council would need the entire Guilford delegation to support the bill"

"If the legislature approves the proposed bill,
the city would be able to tax admission up to $3 per ticket
at venues with 2,800 to 4,000 seats.

A majority of council members agreed to submit the proposed bill
to the legislature’s bill-drafting office Wednesday,
the deadline for legislation to be considered in this session, Mayor Robbie Perkins said.

The council would need the entire Guilford delegation to support the bill
in order for it to be approved in this short session of the legislature,
when the body does not take up controversial issues."
