You say, "Your actions on this matter threaten the welfare of of my family and thousands of LGBT individuals throughout the region." Yet your actions in this matter threaten the welfare of the entire region. A cross section that includes the LGBT community. Many people don't understand the full impact the drink tax has had on the community. You, for instance, think that this has hurt the business of The Priory and that is why they are doing this. Yet you don't even think of why Tuscany closed their doors so recently. You don't seem to know that we nearly lost a chain restaurant that had been planning on moving to the South Side since The Works were in a planning stage. I don't think you understand that many LGBT bars and clubs in the area aren't exactly high-profit. You are supporting someone who has taken another 10% out of their books - all too support Dan Onorato's mistake. It's easy to point out that she's has supported LGBT issues in the past. It's hard to do the research to find out how badly she has hurt Pittsburgh's business owners and the entire community in an effort to follow the party line. What else will she vote for just to make her party happy?
