As you consider the County’s budget, I request that you repeal the 4% Meals Tax on restaurant food. The following are my reasons.
The tax is unfair and unhealthy. Restaurants prepare fresh food daily; grocery stores sell the same food in frozen, refrigerated, and dehydrated forms.

Cooks who live and pay taxes in the County prepare restaurant food; factory workers in faraway locations manufacture grocery food.
