This is absolutely ridiculous and a major government overreach.

Tired of insane taxation rate here in VA. You know this is only happening because of the Buccees coming to Stafford. I own two small businesses in Spotsylvania County and our business property tax is too much already.

I have watched everything related to my home in Stafford just climb and climb. My Social Security does not keep up. It seems that BPOL Tax will continue the rise in cost to stay on my home. When is it enough?

Since span burgers election Virginia itself has been overtaxed. Hard to believe Stafford would impose an additional tax on an already overtaxed population - business or otherwise. No more taxes!

This unwise measure adds further pressure on local small businesses and favors mega corporations. There are other ways to generate revenue outside of continuing to squeeze local businesses.

This tax on businesses (1) increases prices to consumers, (2) taxes the business even when it does not make a profit, (3) will force businesses (especially small businesses) to close, (4) combined with all of Stafford's other taxes, it will encourage taxpayers to move to places with lower taxes.

How about RESPONSIBLE SPENDING?? Taxpaying business should not be burdened with an extra tax because county officials are not budgeting our tax dollars appropriately and are engaging in irresponsible spending.

As a former business owner, I understand firsthand how hard small-business owners work just to keep their businesses successful. That’s one reason I’m particularly concerned about imposing an additional tax based on gross receipts rather than actual profit. A business can have substantial revenue on paper while operating on a very small profit margin.
I believe Stafford County residents and businesses are already carrying a substantial tax burden, and adding another tax on local businesses
