Madonna Urges London Mayor Ken Livingstone to give tax breaks
March 29, 2008
Filed under Celebrity News, News, Politics
It has been reported that Madonna has urged London Mayor Ken Livingstone to give tax breaks to struggling musicians.
It’s said that Madonna is furious at Ken’s decision to introduce Congestion Charging to the city insisting that the levy has made traffic in the British capital worse than ever.
Drivers in central London are forced to pay a fee of £8 a day or face huge penalties if they fail to hand over the money within 24 hours and Madonna insists that the scheme is financially crippling for people starting out in the music industry.
Madonna said that “I would make it so that young musicians wouldn’t have to pay the Congestion Charge or taxes so they would have money for other things. All Red Ken (Livingstone) wants is roadworks everywhere. I’ll just have to walk I guess“.
Do you agree with Madonna?
