Why This Vote Matters
Richmond voters will decide whether to impose a business license tax after the council voted 6-3 to put the measure on the November 2006 ballot. The tax would generate new revenue for city services, though the specific amount wasn't disclosed. Council members Anderson, Griffin, and Rogers opposed sending the measure to voters, marking a departure from their usual support for budget items. This vote allows residents to make the final decision on whether businesses should pay this municipal tax.
