Assembly member Bernier sponsored the alcohol tax proposal, and the borough assembly voted to send it to voters.

A YES vote means
Yes adds a boroughwide 5% tax on alcohol sales starting in April 2027. Shops collect it from buyers; this vote does not require a property tax cut.
A NO vote means
No blocks the new borough alcohol tax. Buyers keep paying only the state and local taxes already in effect on alcohol sales.
