She's made it clear she has no love for the Omaha restaurant tax, but newly-elected Mayor Jean Stothert hasn't made a move to get rid of it. It's in her proposed budget and the projected revenue is more than ever. She addressed the issue Thursday afternoon.

The mayor asked why the city is turning so much attention to Lo Sole Mio, asking the owner to prove he's been paying the tax. It's one of 10 restaurants being audited this week.

Turns out the audit is standard and part of the restaurant tax ordinance. Since the law went into effect, this is the first time the restaurant has been randomly chosen for the audit.

Mayor Stothert said that although she opposes the tax, the city needs the $27 million it brings in. "If I would try to repeal the restaurant tax for '14, I would have a $47 million hole. In five weeks, that's not enough time for me to be able to fill that hole."

Lo Sole Mio's head chef doesn't believe the mayor's plan to get rid of the tax. She said her goal is to get the restaurant tax off the books for the 2015 budget and asked that citizens be patient.
