with at least one MAJOR difference from the one proposed by Mason:

...Officials tried to pass a similar ordinance last month, but it failed after public opposition convinced commissioners the ordinance was unclear. Officials wanted to use the tax as an incentive for the entertainment business - business owners could take money generated from taxes on their own sales and pump it back into the business....

This tax is to be an incentive to locate a park in Franklin..and the tax could be plowed back into the business. I suppose after it has been deducted as a business expense from federal and state taxes..but wouldn't the tax money funneled back to the park be income?

My head hurts....

And then there is THIS:

...City officials still can use the tax money as a financial incentive, he said.

“The city can use the funds however they need to,” he said....

WHAT?

I'm guessing we won't be seeing any amusement park in Franklin but they will at least have some very nice streets!

Uh...the city of Franklin...NOT Franklin County (where Frankfort is...)....

^Doh! I got ownd.....Sorry about that. Still, It would be nice to see attractions somewhere in Kentucky that of which is not Cave and Horse related.

Tis okay...but reminds me of the old joke:

How do you pronounce the capital city of Kentucky? Lou-uh-vul or Lou-e-ville?

The answer is...Frank furt.

And have you not heard of Beech Bend?

How is Louisville pronounced?

Locals mostly say Lou-uh-vul. High falutin' people often say Lou-e-ville.

But the capital city of Kentucky is not pronounced either way!

Then there's:

Yose (rhymes with nose) might. (Yosemite)

And Vur sales. (Not like in France...)

And A (rhymes with weigh) thens....
