More taxes paying for things that do not benefit the vast majority of Stafford residents is not the answer. Better financial discipline and management is what Stafford needs.

As a consumer I can’t afford for these costs to go up. If they have a higher taxes it’s passed to the consumer.

As a Stafford resident, we are already paying more than our share of taxes.

The cost of just living in Stafford County has risen so much since my arrival here in 1993, I am giving serious consideration to moving out of the county. Almost any other county in Virginia or another state would be like getting a significant pay raise.

Stafford does not need to tax us more. Small business owners like us carry enough burden already

I'm a small business owner and live in Stafford. My property taxes have increased over 50% in the last few years and I pay rent in my small business as well. I employ three people here. More tax would force me to reduce their payraises and of course mine. This is an unnecessary burden on small business who bring revenue to the county.

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!
