Each county should install measures to ATTRACT businesses. Continually raising taxes REPELS them. If we had more business owners in political positions, perhaps we could reverse this continual trend to raise taxes and spend within our means. Wishful thinking!!

As a small business owner that has the benefit and flexibility of being able to freely relocate, in addition to the extreme surge of property taxes, this additional tax will leave no option and directly cause my business, and family, to sell and leave Stafford County.

Prices for small businesses will have to go up and many businesses will close or lose what little clientele they have.

STOP with all the extra taxes. You are giving tax breaks to these large companies and data centers and running the small businesses into the ground. How about curtailing spending instead of just generating money?

State and Government officials need to be reminded who they work for! I live in Spotsylvania but I work in Stafford, and prefer to support small business work ethics and their better customer service standards!

Stafford County needs to figure out the budget issue without adding more taxes to the residents or businesses. Time to clean house in Stafford. New BOS and Planning.

Stafford County is hurting small businesses and does nothing to bring us anything significant. We still have to travel to Woodbridge or Fredericksburg for more retail and restaurant options. We should not still be a bedroom community with the amount of people moving here.

Really! tax and spend? What is the county doing with the millions of dollars already received? It's hard to believe with the thousands of residents already paying property and real estate tax, as well as other fees, there is not enough money already being collected to do what needs to be done. Where is the money going? As you already, know, cost increases will ultimately be passed on to the residents of the County?

I’m a senior citizen on a fixed income. I’ve lived here 23 years. These taxes will hurt Stafford citizens more than they will help.

The county is spending too much money without anything to show for it. They continue to raise taxes. We already moved out of the county and now I am going to move my company.

I’ve watched Aquia Town Center die and now you want to make it more costly to do business in Stafford? I think the higher BPOL Tax is misguided.

It is already financially difficult today with increasing prices to run a business. If taxes are increased, it is honestly upsetting to come to a realization that businesses, specifically small businesses, will have no choice but to close.
Because it hurts those small businesses!
