I'll support the increased tax for those choosing to shop downtown. However, the city must balance the increase cost by immediately impounding shopping carts and return them immediately to the store owner. Those stealing shopping carts (which is a tax on food, as well as a public health and safety issue), and jail the numerous shopping cart thieves. When I see results, and our downtown is safer and cleaner, I'll consider paying for parking. For now, as has been for the last 4 years... downtown Oly is a "no go zone".
