The question I have for Mayor Jones is this. Is there something that you don't feel entitled to tax? Raising sales tax hurts businesses in Mobile. Now I go to Pensacola to buy groceries. I do that because of the final straw of raising that 1% sales tax. I try to shop at every locally owned store in town that offers even a semi competitive price just to support local businesses but no more. Mayor Jones, please read Atlas Shrugged. More of us can quit on you than you can tax into submission.
