"Raising taxes runs counter to competing with National Harbor. High taxes will drive more businesses away, rather than encouraging them. Many in the past 20 years have left because of high taxes and other costs. We increasingly are an Old Town of restauran"
"If the city is serious about attracting tourists from the Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center, then it makes absolutely no sense to impose an additional commercial tax that will drive many of our unique small businesses OUT of business. How attractive are"
"Alexandria cannot keep businesses as it is. Find ways to attract business, don't drive it away. Alexandria is justly known as an overpriced, bureaucratic nightmare."

"DON'T DO IT!!"
"There is no justification for higher commercial property taxes than residential taxes."
"I own Diva Boutique on 116 S. Pitt St. and feel very strongly about the fact that we as a City need unique, small businesses to preserve the flavor of Alexandria. If small businesses are continually asked to be the ones ante-ing up, we are going to end up"
