I must take issue with the question that you posed to these businesses as it is the same inane question that LNP has been asking for 11 years.
The more apropos question to pose to downtown merchants, who as of yet have paid nothing for the CC, is whether or not they would support some kind of tax or fee levied against each and every one of their customers, each and every day of the year, for the benefit they might see over a 20-40 day a year period?
I wonder how much support you will see from downtown merchants when that questioned is asked?
