The Representative in the state of Louisiana, Roger Wilder, has filed a bill which proposes a huge increase to sports betting tax. The House Bill 22 was filed on Sunday (November 10) which focuses on increasing the state’s tax rate on sports betting.

In a statement on Tuesday (Nov, 12) President-Elect Trump said the pair “will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.” The appointment of the world’s richest man to the advisory role fulfills earlier promises Trump made to Musk.
