Food-tax savings? Big deal

On Sept. 24 you ran an article titled "Eating out to become a bit cheaper." You noted the Utah County Commission had "reduced the countywide tourism, recreation, cultural and convention tax on prepared food and beverages sold in restaurants by 0.05 percent for 2007." You noted that for restaurant diners the tax cut equates to a discount of 5 cents on a $100 meal bill. Furthermore, that instead of paying $31.10 for a tenderloin filet and shrimp dinner at the Chef's Table in Orem, diners will pay $31.08.

All I can say is, "What a deal!"
