It’ll be put on the November ballot and there’s no cost to add it, according to the City Manager.

So can we assume that the estimated $250,000 cost* for holding a referendum before November will be covered by tax revenue that will undoubtedly be generated by the surge of Sunday shoppers…? (Admittedly a small drop in the $2.5million county deficit bucket…)

You ridiculed someone above for not having a convincing argument, that was opposing to yours. But you still haven’t really expressed what your opposition is to Sunday sales. Though you have provided plenty of snark, it didn’t address your reasoning, just that you seem to be discontent with consumers having more options on Sundays.

Perhaps you missed my question earlier, or just ignored it, but I’m curious as to why you feel the way do? What exactly is behind your opposition to Sunday sales?
