S.B. County supervisors vote to return carbon offset fees
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has voted to return nearly $200,000 in fees collected from small businesses by the county Fire Department for storing small amounts of carbon dioxide for soda machines, according to a news release. "These fees were levied based on an interpretation of an old state law that wound up hurting numerous small businesses and nonprofit groups," 1st District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt said in a news release. "In these difficult times, we need to make sure we are supporting small businesses to grow our economy and create jobs. We should not apply regulations that provide no benefit to public safety but could drive business away." As many as 1,500 businesses and other groups were potentially affected by the fee, according to the release.
Specialists claim that business loans aid people to live their own way, just because they can feel free to buy needed stuff. Moreover, banks give commercial loan for different persons.
