They lied

The Allen County Food and Beverage Tax was passed in 1986 and was intended to SOLELY pay for the bonds used to build the Exposition Hall and to be temporary.

Neither has proved to be true because THEY LIED.

The tax has been used for other things and now Nelson Peters wants to allow this tax to be used to fund things unrelated to The Coliseum...

I am disappointed...

Allen County should pay off the Exposition Hall Bonds and then ELIMINATE the food and beverage tax.

If our elected officials (Democrats and Republicans) feel that we need another Food and Beverage tax then they should take their argument to the people and pass a new tax. It is NOT complicated...
