Repeal of Beer Tax on the Ballot
Congrats to the petition organizers! From the Pittsburgh Business Times:
The Whiskey Rebellion II is ready to toast its political battle to come.
Friends Against Counterproductive Taxation, a organization comprised largely of Allegheny County bar and restaurant owners, filed its petition signatures with the Allegheny County Division of Elections Tuesday as part of its bid to place a referendum on the ballot Nov. 4 to reduce Allegheny County’s 10 percent drink tax first established in January.
After a three-month signature drive which FACT members organized in a campaign called the Whiskey Rebellion II, FACT touted its ability to collect far more signatures than the 23,006 required to place a referendum ballot.
