C. <br />I have lived in Roseville for 55 years and observed it growing from a sleepy little village to the vibrant city it is <br />today. We already have 3 big box stores with the attendant traffic and police problems. That is more than <br />enough. <br />Huge national chains destroy Mom & Pop retail establishments and squeeze regional businesses. State law <br />requires us to share any tax revenue with outstate communities, but we can't share the fire and police and traffic <br />costs which are nearly half of our city costs. Besides, big box retail does not generate much of a tax revenue. <br /> We need higher quality business development, not retail. <br />For these and other disadvantages, please turn down this proposal. <br />Ray Schreurs <br />1 <br />Page95of95 <br /> <br />
