Some frustrated Oakland business owners are warning the city they will stop paying taxes until the city starts providing them safer neighborhoods to operate in.

Organizers are asking more small business owners to join them and force the city to provide more police patrols and protection.

Ortiz, an Oakland native, said in addition to the multiple robberies, he’s seen a 25% drop in business, and customers are staying away because they don’t feel safe. There’s nothing on the books yet, but Gallo said the full council may need to consider a tax deferment initiative for affected businesses big and small.
