I'm tired of the so called leaders of our state thinking they can increase taxes at their discretion. The revenue never goes where they say it going to.

I would vote for this as opposed to raising property taxes. At least everyone who makes these purchases will share the burden. No more property taxes!!!

This is totally absurd, taxes are already way to high and what a horrible time to even try to do this to so many businesses and people hurting from the even more horrible shutdown!

I see a headline today, 70% increase in opioid deaths. Gee who would have guessed lowering penalties on drugs would cause this?

Tax all the bad things. If you are going to have $5 tax on tobacco, spread it around.

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
