If the story is correct, they already tax the players - why not the umpires?
Rich,

I can't speak with certainty about how the players are taxed, but I would imagine their taxed in their state of primary employment.

I'm sure the umpires are paying state tax somewhere. If I had to guess, I would think it's in their state of residency.

JMO- Tim.
A lot of MLB umpires "reside" in Florida because there is no state income tax. It is deemed unconstitutional.

However, FL whacks tourists with the Restaurant, Hotel, and Rental Car taxes, plus the sinners with the tobacco and alcohol taxes. Then they go ahead and whack everybody with one of the higher gas taxes in the country.
