After much debate, a parliamentary challenge by Councilor A. Mercier, a couple of “that’s moving Lowell forward’s” by the Mayor and Councilor R. Mercier reading from a prepared statement regarding crosswalks even though the motion was not on the agenda and this is the first she has heard of it, the motion will be approved and sent to the Public Safety Subcommittee will it will languish in obscurity.

An additional .75 on a $100 is absolutely nothing to me. I certainly would not spend my time or gas money to drive out of town for this amount. Now a new $800 computer with $50 state tax…hmmm?

A meals tax is minimal compared to the the additional $275 I paid in sales tax on my car.

The additional meals tax still keeps it under the tax imposed by “tax free” new hampshire. As for the hotel tax, Lowell has a hotel?

ER - No, no, it’s “Lowell has a hotel left?”

Courtyard Marriott on Industrial Ave East, if you were asking.
