Act now! The Tucson Police Department is trying to implement a $3.00 per ticket/item tax on all secondhand dealer and pawn transactions. Per the ordinance, this fee IS PAID BY YOU, upfront at the time of the transaction.
For example, if you sell or pawn an item for $20, you will only receive $17, and the rest will be paid to the City of Tucson.
Tucson secondhand dealers, like Bookmans, and pawn stores, are strongly oppising this type of unfair and discriminatory tax. We encourage you to call your city council member TODAY to express your opposition!
What should you say? State your name, and tell your council member: "I cannot afford to pay a secondhand or pawn tax every time I sell or pawn my personal property. Please do not support this type of unfair and discriminatory tax."
Don't let the Tucson Police Department and the City of Tucson balance their budget on the backs of their lower-income residents! READ THE ENTIRE TEXT OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE HERE (PDF).
