Upset at business license fee increase

I think the increase in business license fee is outrageous. Because of the increase in fees, I'm making my real estate license inactive. The city gets no license fees from an inactive license. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that a lot of people who have purchased business licenses at $50 for a small second job or a home-based craft business decide not to get a license at all.

I agree with Lisa Weimer. I think it's tough enough for the middle- and lower-income Juneauites to earn enough to make ends meet without our own city trying to gouge us.
