Florida 3.6% communications tax cut

Received something about contacting Columbus to repeal the Sat tax recently. Sounded like an effort was underway. I don't mind paying an entertainment tax, however, I don't like paying a "I don't pay for cable" tax.
 
Yea, Dish put up the message on channel 297 and channel 201 yesterday here in Ohio to "Cut the Ohio satellite tv tax" :nana
Man, you are so close to being outside the Sat Tax at your location. If you could find the state borderline and wrap it around your home, you'd be set!
 
Technically Dish should be charging tax in every state that they do installations. They get around it with their installation side of things being a separate business,
