It is ridiculous and will put many clubs out of business, hampering revenue from these clubs and sales taxes at a time when the City is already in desperate need of revenue, it will hamper tourist spending and put many, many more people into the ranks of the unemployed. Sad. Jan - I wholeheartedly agree with you.
