To fund schools, Baltimore should tax all businesses, not just liquor stores

The Baltimore City beverage tax is punishing one industry alone. Package good liquor stores in the city are in a competitive business and cannot compete against their county counterparts.

My suggestion is a Baltimore City Education tax. Tax every business in Baltimore City big or small the same amount. If there are 20,000 businesses in Baltimore City and you want to raise $4 million, tax each business $200. Now that is fair to everyone!
