BUSINESS TAX REFORM FINALLY MAY SEE LIGHT OF DAY

After years of research, analysis and study, the City Council is coming very close to acting on proposed reforms recommended by the Business Tax Advisory Committee.  VICA has formed a coalition, Citizens for Business Tax Reform Now, consisting of business groups, labor unions and community organizations to ensure that action is taken by October 31 so that business can be informed of the changes in time for the new year.

(l. to r.) Members of the Business Tax Advisory Committee; Eric Sanjurjo, Councilman LaBonge's office; BTAC Co-Chair Mel Kohn; VICA member Norm Huberman; Hollywood Chamber President and CEO Leron Gubler; Antoinette Christovale, L.A. Office of Finance; and L.A. City Councilman Tom LaBonge.
