Boston has over a 1000 bars and over 3000 restaurants.

What a stupid idea to have someone represent and try to help support events, districting, and promotion. It's not like these businesses bring in 5M of tax revenue or anything. What a silly and dystopian thing to have someone working on favorable conditions there.

Dystopian wow.

You're saying Boston bars and restaurants only pay an average of $1250 in taxes? That seems very low to me.

Quack googling, seemed low but even low it demonstrated the point.
