AAMA 计划 2025 年对华盛顿特区进行“飞行访问”

AAMA 正计划于 2 月 13 日在华盛顿特区举办首次活动，游说 2025 年“飞行访问”，并邀请其会员报名。

Amusement and Music Operators Association (AAMA) members are invited to participate in the association’s first Washington, D.C., lobbying “Fly-In Visit” of 2025, set for Feb. 13.

娱乐和音乐运营商协会 (AAMA) 成员受邀参加该协会于 2 月 13 日在华盛顿特区举办的首次游说 2025 年“飞行访问”活动。

“This is your opportunity to be heard by your elected officials and help make a positive difference for you and your industry,” said AAMA’s Pete Gustafson in announcing the event.

“这是您向当选官员表达意见的机会，有助于为您和您的行业带来积极的影响，”AAMA 的皮特·古斯塔夫森 (Pete Gustafson) 在宣布此次活动时说道。

During these “Fly-In” lobbying trips to Capitol Hill, participants can meet directly with those who represent their individual Congressional District and State Senate offices. In those meetings, organized by John Russell and the talented team at the association’s lobbying firm DGA Group, industry members share the challenges their businesses are facing and what they’d like their representatives to do to help.

在这些前往国会山的“飞入”游说之旅中，参与者可以直接与代表各自国会区和州参议院办公室的人员会面。在这些由 John Russell 和该协会游说公司 DGA Group 的才华横溢的团队组织的会议中，行业成员分享了他们的企业面临的挑战以及他们希望代表提供哪些帮助。

Key industry-specific issues the group will address during this trip will include pushing back on proposed changes to the material makeup of coins, which was first brought up 10 years ago and is opposed by the amusement industry, as well as a coalition of other businesses like coin laundry, mass transit and parking meters.

该小组在此行期间将解决的关键行业特定问题将包括推迟对硬币材料构成的拟议变更，该变更于 10 年前首次提出，并遭到娱乐行业以及其他企业联盟的反对例如投币式洗衣机、公共交通和停车计时器。

Taxes are another major concern. “We want our small business members to be on a level playing field with big business,” wrote the AAMA. “The big business tax breaks are permanent, small business tax breaks are set to end at the end of 2023. We want them made permanent.”

税收是另一个主要问题。 AAMA 写道：“我们希望我们的小企业成员能够与大企业处于一个公平的竞争环境中。” “大企业税收减免是永久性的，小企业税收减免将于 2023 年底结束。我们希望它们成为永久性的。”

The AAMA delegation will also have talking points related to tariffs. “They will absolutely hurt our industry specifically and small businesses in general,” said AAMA. “There are critical components needed to build our games that are only produced in China. Blanket tariffs will have serious impact on the growth and expansion our industry has enjoyed over the past several years.”

AAMA 代表团还将讨论与关税相关的话题。 AAMA 表示：“它们绝对会损害我们的行业，特别是整个小企业。” “构建我们的游戏所需的关键组件仅在中国生产。一揽子关税将对我们行业过去几年的增长和扩张产生严重影响。”
