“So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.”
Dorthea Brande
“I think this local sales tax would be a good thing for our community. But people will get a chance to vote on this in July. We will have a plan in place that clearly defines exactly where the money will go.”
Larry Moran
“This thing would pay for itself to the city over time. This will generate new sales tax. I don't think anything would have happened on that site. It would have sat there and decayed without the help the city has provided through this redevelopment district. If the project would have worked without the city investing $3 million, then that site would have been developed a long time ago.”
Kit Williams
“Citizens are not happy about the sales tax. They will not be happy about their property taxes going up, but people do indeed seem to understand the state is having hard fiscal times and solutions are hard to come by.”
David Rebovich
“The Alabama back-to-school sales tax holiday will be good for Alabama parents, good for Alabama teachers, good for Alabama retailers and good for Alabama's economy.”
Rick Brown
“A long-term solution is to increase retail sales tax revenue. I think Copper Town Center will be a tremendous shot in the arm for the area and the county.”
Russ Thomas
“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”
