The tax, approved Monday night, will require local businesses to pay a 1.5 mill tax on their gross receipts. "I'm disappointed and worn out," said council member Dan Chaffee, the only member of council who voted against the tax. Chaffee, a local real-estate sales manager, said the business commu nity will recover from this tempokary setback. "It's nothing personal, we'll live," he said. Geoff Brugler, former president of the Downtown Business Association, spoke numerous times before the council at meetings and public hear ings in which the tax was discussed. The DBA and the State College Area Chamber of Commerce led the opposition to the tax. But Brugler and other local busi ness owners said they harbored little doubt that council would adopt the tax when it was proposed five months ago. Chaffee has been the only mem ber who has voiced opposition to it. Brugler said the extended debate on the tax has postponed the work on other important issues and may have created' some hard feelings between council and local business people. He also said the press has exaggerated the degree of the controversy. "It's time to move on. We work with council on many things," Brugl er said. He said the Main Street Manager program and traffic and parking concerns need to be ad dressed by council and business. He also said, contrary to what has sometimes been reported, he and council president John Dombroski have a good working relationship. Ken Kulp, a local businessman who has also spoken to council at several meetings, objected to the way council handled the issue. He said this re flected an insensitivity or a bias against businesses. "Council doesn't have many feel ings for the business community or they would not have to railroad the tax through," Kulp said. "It's just that we're totally disap pointed at the way council looks at the business community," Kulp said. "Council rarely wants to listen to business. "When they do, it's after the fact." Kulp said he hopes that some pro business people are elected to council in November. He said then a move could be made by council to revoke or reduce the tax, though Brugler and Chaffee disagree with Kulp on the chance of this happening. "Even if most of the business peo ple won, I don't see this election changing things," Chaffee said, add ing that candidates with a business background could win three seats at most in November on the seven-mem ber council. Chaffee said most of the local busi ness people don't live in the borough which keeps them from running for office. Brugler said the tax could be mod ified or repealed if future councils see fit to do that. "That's always a possibility," Brugler said. , Council member James Bartoo said most business and professional people whose income is subject to the tax will try to minimize their tax obligation legally. 0 emmb kg maw Ana@ boa ann9 Tand daily Collegian The benefits of La Roche College summer courses don't change with the seasons.
