Yeah, they're really ---smurfing--- us over out here. A few guys I know that have amusement companies have definitely been vocal about their opposition to this.

So really can we make some calls on behalf of the fellow owners out here?
I know many say it wont affect me but with out arcades/amusement centers you lose a source of future games and kids will never know how much fun it is to play a real machine not everyone takes mame and builds a cab.
I know arcades are not like they used to be but heck its not just arcades I spent many a quarter at the local laundromat, neighborhood bar and many more killing time in the airport.
Ginsu Victim:
The FYI was aimed at the readers of this thread that don't know him by name, not you.

Small minded politicians (lawmakers) will be the death of us all. They cannot see past the ends of their collective noses. OOPS not supposed to discuss politics. :P :P
RayB:
Of course, sometimes the motivations are actually the non-obvious ones. For example, it's entirely possible the politicians want to reduce the number of such machines out on location, for whatever reason.
For example, here in Toronto they introduced a billboard tax, and though it was announced as a means to gain more tax revenues, most people interpretted it as a means to reduce billboard advertising (so everyone but the advertisers and billboard owners were pretty happy about it, cuz there's a hell of a lot of this "visual pollution").
