The Issue

My name is Jane Doe, and I am a proud business owner. However, recently, my livelihood has been under threat from unjust legislative changes by the county executives. There's a disturbing trend emerging: small businesses, the backbone of our economy, are being targeted with needless changes in laws. The aim? Simple: to fill the county's coffers at our expense.

This is not solely my predicament, but a ordeal faced by numerous other entrepreneurs in the county. The Small Business Association reported in 2020 that 45.7% of businesses witnessed increased operating costs due to legal changes. This harassment doesn't just affect us, the business owners, but also our customers and the communities we serve.

I am writing this petition to urge our legislators to amend their stance and protect existing businesses. The changes may offer a robust income stream for the county, but it's akin to picking our pockets. We have worked incessantly to establish our businesses, provide employment, and contribute to our communities. It's time we receive the respect and protection we deserve.

Stand with local businesses and against bullying in the guise of law changes. Please sign this petition and help us send a powerful message to our county officials that we will not stand for this injustice.
