<STRONG>Donovan. . . Read what Tom Hansen wrote. He is NOT saying we should tax CHILD CARE. He is talking about property owners paying PROPERTY TAX on the ground and building they own. Huge difference.</STRONG><BR>

<DIV>Hansen,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So what your real concern is not that parents and the elected city council get to decide how and where to place their children, but in fact, that we tax child care?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Humm, how does that help the single mother waitress working downtown that you are so wanting to defend?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am also curious, what business is trying to get into this same space in the CBD that would be taxed there, but not anywhere else?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is Moscow running low on tax revenue that causes you concern?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
