Increasing taxes at a time when many businesses are feeling strain from other expenses raising taxes is no good. Ultimately, consumers will have to pay more because businesses can’t absorb the tax so they pass it on.

I am a small business owner barely making the ends meet as is. I wish Stafford County would do something to support small businesses instead of trying to crush them with BPOL taxes.

Enough is enough. The taxes on our personal vehicles are so high now they want this. I say, NO.

As a local business owner, I strongly oppose the proposed BPOL tax. Stafford’s lack of a BPOL tax was a primary deciding factor when I chose to establish my business here. With residents and businesses already feeling the strain of rising property, meals, and local taxes, introducing a tax on gross revenue will stifle growth and drive new enterprises elsewhere. Protect small business and reject BPOL.

Will crush small medical offices. Retail can pass the increase. Medical offices can't since insurance companies determine amounts paid.

As the owner of a small business with no drive-up traffic and no environmental impact on the county, an increase in tax is unwarranted. I strongly oppose the Proposed BPOL Tax.

As a retired, widowed resident, I can not afford another tax burden and survive financially after rising medical care! The burden of more taxes is unsurvivable at this point!

This is money that currently is distributed for employee holiday bonuses. This isn’t just taking 1% from a business.

I have lived my entire 61 years in southern Stafford county and both sides of my family have lived in Stafford county for many generations. When is enough, enough? Whether you have been here forever or a new resident to the county this is not good for anyone in Stafford.

I'm tired of the continued hike in taxes. The board doesn't seem to care what the public thinks or wants. Their decision is already made.
We need to attract quality business, not lose it.
