Our Fight continues this Wednesday at 6PM... Courthouse Protest!

Bring your signs and your pitchforks to the Old Chesterfield Courthouse this Wednesday June 26th at 6PM to protest the proposed Meals Tax....

Located at 10011 Iron Bridge Road on the Courthouse green, the old courthouse sits where the first colonial courthouse was once located.

On April 24, 2013, under the leadership of Chair Dorothy Jaeckle, the BOS unanimously approved this meals tax resolution.

On May 22, 2013... the Taxpayer began the fight to restore fiscal sanity to a Board that loosened their budget belt to consume $14 Million more of the Taxpayers' wallets and they are hungry for more.

This Wednesday June 26th at 6PM join fellow citizens in front of the Board of Supervisors meeting as we renew our call in protest.  (You can bring a picnic and your family!)

The adopted resolution triggers a request to order the special election on November 5, 2013 to stick it to the Taxpayer. We will vote NO to the meals tax!

Unless it is defeated by the Taxpayer, the five Board of Supervisors would enact an ordinance for a new tax on your wallet. That's right a $10 meal will be $0.40 more. A $50 meal will be $2.00 more. This hurts small businesses located in Chesterfield County.

The potential bounty would then be dedicated to fund school facilities and walkie talkies, (that's right "emergency communications" including but not limited to ADDITIONAL DEBT service expenses – THIS ADDITIONAL DEBT would far exceed the maximum revenue generated by a meals tax.
