Denise Bricker: Stam and the sales-tax additions

Regarding the April 29 letter “The sales-tax fog”: While the sales-tax rate dropped 1 percent in 2011, it has been added to movies, concerts, sporting events, service contracts, newspaper subscriptions, museum admission, power bills, etc. The tax-free weekend has also disappeared. Apparently Rep. Paul Stam doesn’t participate in any of this.
