Wisconsin Senator Proposes Game Tax to Fund Juvenile Treatments

As reported by the Wisconsin Radio Network, Wisconsin State Senator Jon Erpenbach wants to introduce legislation to treat non-violent 17-year-old delinquents in rehabilitation programs instead of adult court. However, Erpenbach wants to pay for the programs by adding a special one-percent sales tax for video games and game consoles. The surcharge would be in addition to Wisconsin's current five-percent sales tax. (December 19, 2007)
