Why NHL’s Gary Bettman Calls No State Income Tax a Shocking Game-Changer Fans Didn’t See Coming
It’s a ridiculous issue. When the Florida teams weren’t good, which was for about 17 years, okay, nobody said anything about it. And for those of you who played, okay, were you sitting there with the tax table? No, you wanted to go to a good organization, in a place where you wanted to live, where you wanted to raise your kids and send them to school.
You wanted to play in a first-class arena with a first-class training facility, with an owner, an organization, a GM and a coach that you were comfortable with, and you wanted to have good teammates, so you’d have a shot at winning. That’s what motivates it. Could it be a little bit of a factor if everything else were equal, I suppose, but that’s not it. And by the way, state taxes are high in Los Angeles, high in New York. What are we going to do, subsidize those teams?
