If it is going to cost me an extra 40 cents for a beer, I seriously won’t even notice. If my understanding is correct, the funds are going to public transit, fixing roads, and other public services. The transit and roads are things that I use every day, so if they are going to make the roads better and keep the county out of debt, I could care less if my beer costs me 4.40 instead of 4.00. Just my opinion though. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/allegheny-county-rental-car-drink-tax/194030)._
