Those fees, those taxes, those licenses -- for a small business owner I think it's a burden to put on their backs.

There's a lot of potential here in Flint Township and I'd like to have the opportunity to take us forward.

I'd be committed to a balanced budget. I'd like to see exactly what money's being spent on, different line items in the budget.

Taxes matter to businesses. How a state taxes business is just as important as how much a state taxes businesses.

We've been working hard to get on the city's good side. We have our state business license, our taxes done, the vendor registration is done and the insurance is covered.
