Unidentified resident (first speaker) said they live in the county but own a business inside Lenoir City and voiced support for the proposed sales-tax increase, arguing that much of the citys sales-tax revenue comes from nonresidents who shop in city businesses and saying they donate to Habitat for Humanity ("I'm for this increase in taxes.").
