Want to make consumers pay more, have the State receive less revenue and lose jobs? California knows the formula--make crazy environmental rules. They want to save $30 over ten years--
In this case California government wants you to pay for to buy a television--in the name of Al Gore.
The good news is that this will help Internet sellers and the State of Nevada--again. "About a quarter of currently available television models would have to be pulled from store shelves, said Doug Johnson, senior director for technology policy with the Arlington, Va., group that represents TV makers, distributors, retailers and installers.
That could raise television prices, put home theater installers and wholesalers out of business and destroy jobs, he said.
The association contends that the regulations would force TV buyers to buy banned sets from out-of-state dealers over the Internet, depriving California retailers of customers and state and local governments of needed sales tax and corporate income tax revenue."
Lower revenues, lose of jobs, help other States--only California can lose this trifecta!!
