Sen. Mark Warner speaks out against performance tax
Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 in News
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) called in to the 1070 WINA morning news show in Charlottsville, VA yesterday and expressed his concern that legislation pending in the House of Representatives would stifle local radio stations and prevent them from serving the public interest. The Performance Rights Act could potentially cost radio stations millions of dollars in extra fees, sacrificing their ability to stay in business.
“The last thing we need is to choke of more off our local media. We need more voices…that actually represent the local interests.”
