Loudoun County Board Votes Against Proposed BPOL Tax Hike
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted 5 to 4 against a proposed increase in business license fees for several categories of businesses, including leasing of residential and commercial property. The increase was proposed as part of the County’s fiscal year 2009 plan adopted in April. Chairman York voted, along with Supervisors Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), Susan Klimek Buckley (D-Sugarland Run), Lori Waters (R-Broad Run) and Kelly Burk (D-Leesburg), to oppose the scheduled rate increase. The group cited changes in the economic climate as reason for the shift in policy.
