You don’t need more of our money. If families have to budget on set incomes, so do you.

Instead of focusing on the smaller businesses with something like this greatly affecting them. Target the huge businesses that can afford it. Doing it on the GROSS instead of NET is the biggest issue. Maybe if you’d have done that it wouldn’t be such a burden. Are you going to give the money generated back to the businesses that lost money? Of course not. So stop pinching your voters.

We are a micro business here in Stafford County. Even the $50 registration makes a Hugh difference to us. Please oppose this BPOL tax.

The tax on business WILL be passed on us, the consumers. Instead of raising taxes, I want taxes reduced. Another Stafford County tax? No!

As someone involved in the process of opening a business in Stafford County, we were already disappointed with the amount of red-tape and taxes that came with it. It is very difficult to keep our doors open as is, this tax could cause many small businesses who operate on slim margins to shut down.

We are over taxed and what we do pay is wildly mismanaged. No new taxes before and audit and overhaul of county spending.

Stafford claims to be business friendly , but this is another point where actions speak louder than words. Local businesses have already been hit with higher property taxes and tougher legislation on property rights. Let's keep the government out of our pockets.

Taxes are already too high. Use the resources you already have more wisely. Spending is out of control. You are putting too much burden on the citizens instead of being fiscally responsible.

It is ridiculous that our personal property taxes are as high as they are. This will further burden our money in Stafford especially with Tariffs in place, gas that is extremely high and food prices. We are all just struggling at present times like these and the last thing we need is more increases that will come out of our pockets.

We already have higher taxes than our neighbors. Our utility bills have more than doubled in the last year. No more taxes!!!!

Higher taxes on businesses is the same as yet another tax on the people, but in a sneaky way.

Stafford bos has increased my property tax this year that my mortgage has gone up almost $100 a month. You cannot keep stealing my hard earned money that you steal with a strike off the pen… no hard work like mine!
