as a business owner who supports 50 people, this tax adds a burden which reduces the amount of revenue we can use to increase pay and benefits. taxing businesses at this level is simply punitive and harms the growth of people in ours and other businesses. also this leads to higher prices which average people simply cannot afford and will result in people and businesses spending less money which reduces value in their homes and businesses

As a resident and sometimes business owner, I prefer less red tape and freedom to operate a business independent of government influence as much as possible.

We need to have good businesses in Stafford county, things for the kids to actually do! If they add another tax, none of these businesses are going to come to Stafford. Our property taxes are insane, and the money isn’t going to education where our children need it the most.

What they really need to do is manage our money better. The perpetual tax increases never seem to be enough. Maybe find someone who can be more responsible and community centered with their spending.

We need more retail shops. We need places for kids and teens to have fun. I would like to see more restaurants, the movie theater and hundreds of other things they have promised over the years. They need to show all county residents where our tax dollars are going. Is it going into their pockets. I vote HELL NO to any new taxes, this is insanity at it's finest. Mismanagement of money for the same old BS tax hikes every year. All they do is push good businesses out.

We pay enough taxes in Stafford County...way too much even. Maybe the the BoS managed funds better we would be able to funds the things that matter like schools and roads.
Maybe you can pass the expenses onto the contractors who are building neighborhoods every 10 feet.
More taxes are just going to fuel the fire of a mass exodus from the county. Stop taxing the good people of Stafford!!

Stafford doesn’t need additional taxes. Stafford county board of supervisors need to cut programs and make a budget.

Stafford taxes are ridiculous. The personal property tax on automobiles is outrageous. We're getting taxed to death.

Small businesses with lower revenue that are trying to be successful will feel the impact significantly. With all of the overhead with starting a business, most owners don’t even take a salary. This will only drive out start ups and small, family businesses to seek out more business friendly areas or not even take the risk if this is approved.

This will absolutely kill small businesses that are barely making it now. Stafford wants to put the final nail in our coffins? Take from one for others..... socialism.
