Sunday business fee

Let me get this straight.  The business fee of $50 that a business has to pay if it is to open on sunday is being eliminated.  It is being eliminated because "it is unfair".  It is unfair because not all the businesses are paying the fee.  With that kind of logic, we ought to eliminate the speed limits in Salem because they are unfair because not all of the drivers adhere to them.  That kind of flawed logic is going to cost the Salem taxpayers AGAIN just as the decision to eliminate the $10 resident tax cost us (the town) $260,000.  Not a good decision at all!
