Interactive Poll How do you feel about the City of Omaha's decision to charge an additional 2.5% tax on dining, drinking and catering? Please select one: Great idea! A tax they can enforce! So THAT''S why they allowed bars to stay open until 2 p.m. I understand why they're doing it but I don't like it. Just another reason not to go to Omaha. Thank goodness there's no tax on groceries. Does this mean my tip has to be larger too?		home : news : news September 08, 2010 • Blair, Nebraska 7/27/2010 8:12:00 AM  Email this article • Print this article  Samuel Irvin Aaron Sheperd ‘Banding Together for Chrissy’ Friends of Chrissy Schroeder have made lime green bracelets that they are selling to help support her recovery and medical bills.
