Business Tax Board of Review: Submitted
Interests & Experiences
Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
I’ve been a small business co-owner in West Oakland for over a decade, providing the essential service of offering healthy food in a neighborhood facing food apartheid. At Mandela Grocery Cooperative, we experience the burden of business taxation, in a community underserved by its City. Last year, I participated on the temporary Blue Ribbon Tax Task Force, helping improve the City’s tax structure to better insure big businesses in Oakland pay their fair share of taxes. We identified new revenues to support City services and programs that will serve small businesses. My contributions on the task force were grounding, and called us to consider the issues faced by small businesses located in and serving poor neighborhoods. These include the need for access to improved basic infrastructure and resources such as consistent trash pick up, well-lit streets, and reliable utilities. It’s imperative that all Oakland businesses are accountable for paying our fair share of taxes. As a trusted community member and active small business owner responsible for ongoing financial review, I feel equipped to engage in fair dialogue reviewing tax assessment appeals as part of The Business Tax Board of Review.
