    @David Hule Green
    Not all taxes are sales tax!!! Churches are a business whether you like it or not and should pay their fair share, because very few actually give back to the community!!!! Besides, Jesus would be sitting with all those sinners before sitting with the hypocrites!!!

    REGARDING:
    “Maybe all those Church’s should start paying taxes. After all They use they same tax payer funded public facilities as the other businesses. ”

    A church being an assembly of people, usually, they do pay taxes. But you are right. If they start selling drugs such as alcohol to outsiders, nonmembers, they should pay taxes on it — or the buyers should anyway.

    Can’t believe the comments on here.
    A man is left cut up in a parking lot..it may or may not have had anything to do with an earlier incident.
    Strangers that are nothing to do with the bar business often walk around andvthru that area.
    Also the comment about the city being poor..what has that to do with a man left cut up in a parking lot.
    Several years ago a man was found dead in his vehicle at those new apartments on 29. People are found drowned at the lakes. Nothing to do with city finances.
    As far as bar being packed. That’s a good thing. Last thing Century needs is another TAX PAYING business to shut down.
    Maybe all those Church’s should start paying taxes. After all They use they same tax payer funded public facilities as the other businesses. The same police force protects them the same fire Department would be called out.
    All businesses in a dying city are necessary.

    They say century is poor and needs all this assistance but those bars are sure packed to the gills. Something stinks.
