620 SE Et'ERET 1`MALI. WAY vim. r EVERETT, WA 98208 425-212-2260 <br /> A\ <br /> / kk <br /> We are not asking for you to consider a zero tax like what the Tribal Casino's enjoy, we are asking for you to <br /> consider a fairer tax based on a an adjusted gross revenue that will allow us to survive. We do owe the City of <br /> Everett for gambling taxes we have been unable to pay and we ask that you consider making this new tax rate <br /> retroactive, and apply the new rate to the back taxes we owe and allow us to make payments of an amount that <br /> is manageable. Please remember, we are not asking for this new rate for personal gain, but rather we ask you to <br /> consider the economic future of the 120 employees and their family's that we support. We will not be able to <br /> continue, unless there is a change to the current tax structure that is imposed only on our type of business and <br /> only on non-tribal casinos. Time is of the essence here, our back is against the wall and without this change we <br /> will have to close our business within the next few weeks and our 120 employees and the families they support <br /> will be without the paycheck we give them and we will be adding 120 more people to the unemployment rolls. <br /> With this change, you will foster success rather than hinder success. <br /> Since we opened our doors,we have lost a million dollars a year in this location. Meanwhile the tribal casinos <br /> have made$5-7 hundred million in revenue. This playing field is wholly unleveled and needs to be given much <br /> thought, with an eye towards what is fair and equal. <br /> We are currently in one of the worst economic times in our country and it is not in anyone's best interest to have <br /> a government that is a hindrance to business. We now have an opportunity to change things for the better. <br /> We would Iike to open our financial records to you in an effort to help you understand the economics of our <br /> industry. <br /> Attached is our proposal that should provide the businesses of our industry, located in Our town to thrive and be <br /> good citizens. <br /> Thank you for your consideration and time. We look forward to your response. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Anthony Marson <br /> President <br /> Fair Deal Inc. dba The Club Casino <br /> attachment <br />
