Ms. whir <br /> 0 <br /> indicated that it is unfair for the Town to slip this law into effect as it would potentially put the businesses out <br /> of business. <br /> It was noted if the Town votes to enact the ban it would not go into effect until next year. <br /> Raheel, a local gas station/convenience store operator with a seasonal liquor license conveyed the economic <br /> i I impact on the small business is a pressing concern. Due to the pandemic several businesses are closing. In <br /> comparison to last summer, his business is down by 25%, and it is projected to decrease to 35%in the off <br /> season. It was recommended that a deposit be placed on the bottles. With a surcharge,people would be less <br /> likely to dispose of them. <br />
