what would prevent some idiot with to much time and/or money, to just create a lot of "businesses" and then vote with them?
What benefit(s) would this provide to residents of this town? I'm not understanding how this could be considered reasonable at all.
“‘...Proponents of this bill have tried to frame this as an innocuous way to give business owners more power...” why do business owners need more power?
Article goes on to say that the change wouldn't allow local business owners two votes in the elections, but would allow non-local business owners to vote twice - once in their regular voting location and once in this town's elections. Seems totally transparent that this is a power grab for the big guys.

Well workers outnumber business owners and that's not fair! :V
Oh okay so I’m sure that all those voter ID laws won’t be an issue. I’ll wait for your business to get a government issued ID
Or…
This is such BS. How much does it cost to register a business? Because this would establish that as the price / valuation of each vote.
nonono you don't get it rigging is okay so long as it's the right people doing it, they don't want to get rid of rigging just bad rigging
