"With a recession, people don't have a lot cf money te spend,» ho said. "An individual who wants te promete his business quite often cannot, but through this concept he benefits because it promotes aIl of the downtewn. uSooner or later people realize the advantages of it.» If there stili are advantages to havinga BIA, thon ail the more reasen fer polling the member- ship argues Lynda Buffett, a past DB A chair. Buffett, a former Town council- 1er, said many people are ques- tioning the neod for the extra levvon topof their regular taxes. Mat's happene is that a lot of BIAs (in Ontario) have done surveys te find eut whether they should reduce the menies for sales and promotions or te put it on hold,» she explained. "It's net putting down the BLA, it's just finding eut how people feel ... majorityrules.» If opposition is limited te a umall, disgruntled group," as Hogue insista, thon that will be borne eut by a vote, Buffett said. "Thinga are a little diffrent than they used te ho,» she said. "Yoars anao wo had. a $10,000 budget andf did as much pro- motion with a lesser tax base.

"If they don't want a BIA who would get off their ass and plan activities?" Grandy asked. "Those who are negativo wouldn't get off their asses and do anythixýg,» he said. Grandy 'said even DBIA cnitica benefit from its varieus pro- motions and campaigna. "One guy acrosa the stroot from me has an anti-BIA aigu, but you don't hear him complain when the sidewalk sales bring him in customers,» ho said. Grandy.said an extra levy on his taxes is a amalprice te pay for the additional business gonerated by DBIA activities. «If one persen walks in from a sale, I benefit,»he said. Bull Brant, owner of Burtinsky & Brant Florista, also faveurs a vote on the DBIA. "Right new, with ail the re- straints p ut on us, I don't see why people keep pushing it,» said Brant. «They (DBIA) should show a little restraint, toc.
