No. Once again, always trying to find a way to hurt business and increase an already expensive cost of living. Give us a break!

Cities need to budget their funds. That's it , stop under building roads. Reed Market is a prime example. Now they are trying to figure out how to extort more money to expand an under built roadway.

We pay enough for gas it supposed to pay for roads. We need to FIRE who ever paved the road on the parkway. The on-ramp there by Robinson Collision down to Food 4 Less they did a terrible job.

Restaurants have been increasing costs to patrons from menu items and tip ratios, adding on a road tax to the tab is insulting. Add the road tax to tourist driven items like airbnbs.

has nothing to do with restaurants. Tax taxis, Uber, Lyft etc; redirect $ from city's travel marketing & park/reck(which gets lots of $); tax or eliminate studded tires

Adding sales tax to prepared food purchases will hurt businesses & families. Once a sales tax is added, it will always exist and will always increase.There are other ways to fund road work.

No, but we may need toll roads or something. Some folk don't use the roads very much, some are on them constantly. They never stay home.

Take some funds from Park and Rec. is a better approach to fund additional road improvements.

We already pay taxes for roads. Budget the money and spend wisely. With the increased population comes an increase in tax dollars collected.

The city and county get plenty of money from us taxpayers, they need to make better choices and fix roads with the taxes they get, and fix the traffic issues we have before allowing more building.

How best to find wasteful government spending than to go to the source of the payments. Musk isn’t going to stop or interfere with SS payments or any other social programs.

That system is our most secure data system and a non elected, or person who has not been properly vetted should not have access to such a sensitive system.
