If it keeps the buses running, the sewers working, and the parks open, I am all for it. I share @muffinrobotofdoom's concern, though. I also think that sales taxes disproportionately favor the wealthy. In an environment where the state legislature is actively trying to bankrupt the city, you have to work with what you can get.
