Downtown landowner opposed the gross-receipts-based levy, proposing a flat $25 monthly fee per business and pressing for two-hour downtown parking.

MixedBrandy MeyerOct 12, 2026

Owns three downtown businesses; not opposed to the levy but wants fairness, downtown parking fixes, tree lights, and cleanup.

OpposedJohn WarrenOct 12, 2026

Backed Parson on the pharmacy example — high gross receipts on prescriptions but zero profit margin makes the levy unfair.
