Eat Out In Loudoun To Help Pay For Schools?

Eat out in Loudoun County in order to help pay for schools? Sounds odd, doesn’t it… Well, that’s what Loudoun is proposing - a 4 percent meal tax on "prepared meals" that will go directly to Loudoun County public schools.
Loudoun County officials are even saying that the money generated from the meal tax could replace property taxes. (Do Loudoun residents really eat out that much?!)
The referendum will be on the ballot in November so you have plenty of time to chew on it before voting on it.
