Letter to the editor: A little extra in sales tax revenue from foreign corporations would be helpful to Washington state citizens

Now is a good time to let our professional sports teams help us out by collecting Washington state sales taxes from foreign corporations.

T-Mobile is actually a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.

As you may know, we currently face a budget deficit of about $15 billion.

The Stadium Rebate Tax Bill taxes Major League professional sports clubs that sell or rent naming rights (T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field) and then returns the tax revenue to municipal and state governments.

A little extra in sales tax revenue from foreign corporations would be helpful to Washington state citizens.

I encourage you to review the attached Stadium Rebate Bill and contact your state of Washington representative soon.

Thank you,

John E. Martin
