Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


We do not have records available to us which would allow us to reasonably estimate what the precise financial impacts would be on municipal budgets of the various municipals within West Virginia as a result of the elimination of the municipal amusement tax. However, we do believe the passage and implementation of the Bill would result in a reduction of available revenues to fund municipal budgets.
