UPDATED: 12:13 pm EDT June 15, 2007

Local business leaders are fighting to stop the new tax plan that will charge people to purchase tickets for sports, entertainment and other luxury items.

Mike Ilitch, owner of the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and other venues like the Fox Theatre and Bill Davidson, who owns the Detroit Pistons and several concert venues launched a Web site to get you to speak out about the tax.

Log onto this Web site, and contact your state representative.

Opponents to the tax said it unfairly burdens Detroit, the biggest concert and sports venue area in the state.

According to lawmakers, the luxury tax would bring in an estimated $100 million into the state.
