Some small businesses in Oakland are considering not paying their taxes to send a message to City Hall. A coalition of small businesses are discussing a tax boycott and are investigating the legality of such an effort.
Many business owners are unhappy about what they say is a lack of security in the region. They say Oakland officials claim over 700 police officers are on the street but they never see any of them.
The coalition believes a tax boycott would send a message that things need to change to make business owners feel secure.
