Raising tax’s on businesses will make them increase prices and they will have to layoff people

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

Joe Ottlinger

It's a huge tax on everyone. No thanks

Andrew Shooks

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

Steven Huillet

Just another way to ruin Oregon.

David Kline

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.

Vote no!

steven

And yes. Like Gabe.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

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.
