Bill 49 for a gen excise tax surcharge is a regressive tax that imposes an unfair burden on low income local residents who are already suffering. The impact this has on physicians is detremental in that it could force them to possibly close their business. There is already a severe doctor shortage crisis here. We cannot lose more physicians. If nothing else, you should exempt physicians, and food and medications for the local residents.
Members, this has to be the worst idea of the year. You don't increase taxes on the people you're trying to help. To say it's counterintuitive grossly understates the case. This bill should be forever buried and never again should it rear its ugly head. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. Once and for all, you must stop increasing taxes on us locals. It's wrong, it's regressive, and once again, it only results in more hardship for those who are in need of affordable housing.
