Clarence E. Anthony I sincerely believe that businesses on Main Street and at the mall will survive, and even thrive, as long as they have a level playing field on which to compete. Some people will find the convenience, or service or personal satisfaction of dealing with real people in real places more to their liking. Others may prefer cybershopping. Our tax structures should be neutral to these different venues of commercial activity, regardless how a transaction occurs. And those revenues will enable each city to pay for the schools, roads, libraries, parks, police and other public services to sustain the economic well-being and quality of life that will be good for businesses everywhere.
