When you continue to raise taxes you will lose your tax base. If you increase growth you will naturally have higher revenue streams, with out raising taxes.

Tax increases discriminate against older people who can no longer work to earn money for high taxes

Loudoun County collects 45% of their revenue from the data centers why aren't we collected enough from data center so we don't have to start Bpol tax which the consumers end up paying for it

BPOL is bad for business. Stafford needs to attract new business and retain existing business. VOTE NO!

I dont like the effect it would have on our local small businesses. Nor the repulsion of the tax for new business growth.

My husband and I were victims of this tax in Prince William county. We considered it an unnecessary burden for businesses operating in that county and very unfair when not even making a profit initially.

Enough with the taxes already this is ridiculous. Unfettered growth with zero benefit tax wise to those that have been here for our lifetime.

Stafford County is taxing us to death. I can't believe they came up with this tax on small businesses. No reason to stay in Stafford county if this passes. We will go to King George.

How about the businesses request the county to pay us for operations in there county? How can a county sitting board change the business plan of every operating business with in its county? I strongly encourage each district to vote out any sitting party encouraging Bpol. What buzzards to recommend picking off local business sweat for what cause? Guaranteed we will restructure, right out of the county.

It is time to cut taxes not add more.

Stop this nonsense tax. We are seriously tired. More taxes less jobs and less money to have to pay for your costs.

We are already burdened with too many taxes. As a resident we will suffer.

I have been a resident of stafford since 2008. My real estate taxes have steadily gone up along with others. I'm trying my best to give a good living wage to my employees as well. With rents going up because of real estate taxes going up, and now a possible bpol, you are making it unsustainable for small businesses and honestly many new homeowners. Stafford is going to be too expensive to bring in new families and business. We will be left with more empty storefront and less revenue overall.

Attract businesses! Don't deter them! BPOL, if passed, will backfire. Stafford has boasted of no BPOL. Don't pull a bait and switch.

Our taxes are to high!!!! We need to DOGE our spending and reduce waste (I.e. like leather and county embossed couches in fire stations) any non-needed positions.

Do the economic impact analysis that should be carried out by the board before approving. Your constituents deserve that from you.
