There will be if Council Member Scott Fleckenger has his way according to a video of Alexandria’s Tuesday, October 6, 2011, Council Meeting that is now running on Insight Cable Channel 16.
Mr. Fleckenger is proposing that council set a rate for a Gross Receipts Tax that has been on the books for a while but has had the rate set at zero percent.
Viewing the video shows that Mr. Fleckenger’s idea is not without opposition.
Council Member Barb Weber stated that taking the economy into account she thinks that now is not the time to be imposing any additional taxes on anyone.
Mr. Fleckenger’s business lies right outside the city limits and would not affect him but some folks are wondering if he would voluntarily offer his business for annexation into the city so that he could participate in the tax that he wishes to see imposed on others.
