WOULD YOU LIKE A FEE WITH THAT DRINK?
TELL THEM TO PUT A CORK IN IT!
In late July, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on an alcohol tax increasing the cost of beer, wine and spirits by 6-9 percent. This tax will mean:
-
Lost jobs, higher prices and reduced sales, taking another bite out of the San Francisco economy and your pocketbook.
-

-
Working people are hit the hardest, kicking those already hurt most by the economic downturn.
Tell the Supervisors to oppose the alcohol "mitigation fee,"
