NOTE 7. TAXES

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was 35.3% compared to 38.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The higher effective tax rate in 2014 is primarily attributable to the $1.0 million expense related to the campaign against the proposed 2014 ballot initiatives to expand gaming in Colorado which is not deductible for federal and state tax purposes.
