fed up

I'm sure other small business owners will feel as fed up as I do after they read this blog. The town in NJ where we are located is so unfriendly to small business. Here are some of the annoyances that have occurred this past year.
A $250.00 fee for an update of our info into town records....our info has been the same for 30 years
A $125.00 fine because our burglar alarm went off twice in one month. what else do the police have to do
A $3500.00 fine because we were considered a home improvement contractor. Since when is a carpet dealer a home improvement contractor. Further more who knew? We never received any documentation !
A permit so we could install signs in our windows at the rate of $25 per window. We never put signs in our windows in the first place so why would I need a permit.
Now that so many stores have closed, one would think that the town officials would try to help the local business people. Wouldn't you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
