The city of Santa Rosa is affecting all small businesses down down.

The impact of ion man and other events have nagitive impacts on all our businesses. The lose of income to all of us is great. Local businesses have no choose but to close there doors for the week end of the even. No parking and loss of regular foot traffic and local clientele not wanting to come down town. How can the city say this is good for us, there looking at the small picture and not the bigger impact. So sad and so wrong to keep spending our money on events like this one. The city spend on average $250,000 to put this event on and lost money. We need to stand up to them .we do have rights, we do have a voice.
