For whom the taco bell tolls

The Buffalo News

8/17/97

 

The Bills have theirs; now, we want ours.
That's straight from the folks at Mighty Taco, who are threatening to move unless they get some guarantees.  Sound like familiar negotiating language?
This is what the Mighty Taco people want:
A train line from Albany to the Walden Avenue location, county-backed guarantee of hard-shell taco sales and luxury boxes at each location.  Or they're out of here.
The threats – the handiwork of Mighty Taco and Paragon Advertising – are contained in radio commercials and in letters to state and county officials.
What's more amazing is that Andrew Gerovac, Mighty Taco president, actually got a reply.
Assemblyman Sam Hoyt said he was especially upset about the threatened move to Gary, Ind.
"News of Gary Indiana's offer disturbs me," Hoyt said.  "I know Gary, and he hasn't said anything to me about this matter."
Hoyt said he'll go along with a rail station and taco sale guarantee.  He can't support luxury boxes, he said, but luxury booths would be OK.
Gerovac especially likes Hoyt's plan for financing the guarantees "by extending the 'sin tax' to all menu items at Taco Bell."
