Ask the BID committee/Merchant association the hard questions. By their OWN admission they cant collect enough money to go on – Think about this: If we don’t voluntarily pay NOW – WHY would we want to be forced to pay with a tax? The merchant association collects less than 30% of their dues because the same old people do the same old things and we the people do not find enough value in it – hence why we do not pay! NOW to punish us, the same people with the same failed ideas want to tax us to pay for their same failures!
A BID is a tax, A BID can never be removed, a BID always increases – Why would you not support the merchant association YET want to be taxed forever?
