Still think Auto/Mate DMS isn’t big enough to handle your dealership? 1,100 ROOFTOPS 30,000 USERS 187 DEALER GROUPS The IADA Board of Directors also met following the confer- ence and discussed several important dealer issues. Approved was participation in the "No Ad Tax Coalition", a coalition formed with several retail associations concerned with a pro- posal to tax all advertising expenditures in Illinois. The GOP governor and a growing number of bipartisan lawmakers are contemplating a 6.25 percent tax on newspapers, television, radio and internet advertising. If Illinois passes such a tax, it will be the only state in the union to tax this service which helps drive our economy. While we understand the governor’s need to find a solution to the state’s $4 billion dollar deficit, this proposal is not the answer and would only create a more significant overall monetary loss. I would also like to thank the CATA for their involvement in working with IADA, especially on the Sunday Closing Law. Their continued involvement helps strengthen our industry through a unified effort in representing franchised dealers. n Sincerely, PETE SANDER IADA President CUDL HELPS DEALERS WITH...
