No, because i moved out of Allegheny county in 1994. My wife and i dine out frequently, and after that tax passed we made a conscious decision to try not to patronize any restaurants in Allegheny county, and if we did, not to order any alcoholic beverages.

Rather than ANY new taxes, Onorato should have demanded that PAT make due with the money it was getting. He didn’t have the political courage to do so, so he took the cowards way out and taxed a small group of businesses.
