Kilpatrick wants to ask Detroit voters to approve a two percent fast-food tax -- on top of the six percent state sales tax on restaurant meals. The mayor says consumers will barely notice the extra cents at the cash register, but critics say the tax would unfairly burden the poor and hamper economic development.

I don't think this would hold up in court if McD's etc tried to fight it. It's like having an 8% tax at a Chinese restaurant and 6% at an Italian restaurant.
