She's flat out wrong. The only justification for special taxes is to pay for administrative costs. The U.S. Supreme Court has said that First Amendment businesses can't be singled out for special taxes.

But don't go in and say I can do the job without raising taxes and then raise them once you are in.

You just don't have criminal trials dismissed because of prosecutorial misconduct, intentional or unintentional.

Absolutely. That's perfectly within the realm of what should be done.

Certainly there is nothing that prohibits the commission or the (Gaming) Control Board from saying to properties, you have to be careful about and responsible for the security of any type of venue. But it can't go to content.

It really doesn't matter whether there has been an attempt at an outright ban or merely an attempt to influence these properties. We're still talking about action that is taken under the color of the law and is therefore governmental action that is, frankly, censorship.
