(Richmond, IN)--If you’d like to sound off about the city of Richmond’s proposed one-percent food and beverage tax, Thursday night is your chance.  Richmond Common Council is holding a special meeting Thursday night in which public comment will be taken about the tax.  Council member Bill Engle recently talked about how the tax would work.  "It is a tax on prepared food, not groceries.  The money is earmarked for parks, trails, and the gorge project.  If you go out to eat, you will pay this tax.  If you go to the grocery store, you will not pay this tax," Engle said.  The tax is being proposed largely for parks infrastructure and development.  Thursday night’s meeting begins at 7.
