Unless you hold unelected power like the thrashers fries, the secrets, the fagers island, the clarion, and the other good ole boys, you have no voice.

The lease amounts of boardwalk shops are astronomical. <br /><br />A $10.10/hr wage for a 16 year-old to flip burgers is excessive and would force some boardwalk shop owners to close shop. I think lowering the hike from $10.10/hr to $9.00/hr would be a reasonable solution/compromise.Andy Bergesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-77015397762470896882014-03-07T09:01:33.367-05:002014-03-07T09:01:33.367-05:00I am sure 8:54 that it is true for everyone in bus...I am sure 8:54 that it is true for everyone in business, so no one should be exempt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-58689774476498877592014-03-07T08:54:19.498-05:002014-03-07T08:54:19.498-05:00Not all OC business owners are making millions.

The average gross income for a boardwalk shop is around the 1/2 million mark. My friend has a sub/pizza/burger place. He grosses around $400,000. At the end of the summer he may walk with $40,000 for himself, but not often because of unexpected expenses or he will do something to improve his business.

Hotels, bars & restaurants located in every other Maryland city would have to suffer the consequences of the hike and it would not be fair if O.C. was exempt.Andy Bergesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-68909694277047815192014-03-07T08:30:27.987-05:002014-03-07T08:30:27.987-05:00OC crying for a exemption because they will lose m...OC crying for a exemption because they will lose money? They rape the vacation guest? Go talk to your friends at trimpers, at fishers popcorn, at boardwalk popcorn, at mackies, at fagers, at secrets, at phillips, at the jolly roger, and green turtle, and ask them to pitch in a few extra dollars. Ask green turdle to skim some of the million free tax dollars for "economic development" (free beer and free golf to the connected) to take care of the shortfall. Free cake for us, none for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-73418882857924505352014-03-07T08:14:42.455-05:002014-03-07T08:14:42.455-05:00No one should be exempt.
