And Margaret Chin is "okay" with that, eh?! Everyone needs to remind Councilmember Chin that it's her JOB to HEAR AND VIEW BOTH SIDES of an issue that detrimentally affects her constituents, especially small businesses, and not support the hiring of a PR firm to quelch the voice of strong and very enthusiastic opposition to her ethically inappropriate and political choice.

New BID taxes would PERMANENTLY cause landlords to pass the extra costs to small businesses and tenants. <br /><br />TO: Ms. Chin, you are completely out of touch with Chinatown, its residents and its small businesses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742541333902834947.post-72760084784823461112011-06-10T13:35:07.245-04:002011-06-10T13:35:07.245-04:00Superb video by George Lou!!!

Chinatown Partnership says they have 97% approval for the Business Improvement District - That is an outright LIE!!! I dare them to show their books!! The strong outrage of property owners against the BID grows everyday, especially when they see the political tactics of Margaret Chin exposed!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
