Help local independent music retailers!!

Here's the deal:

Recently, a city inspector gave Hits & Misses(860 Bloor St. West) an infraction for not obtaining some ridiculous second-hand good permit. This permit is $555, and apparently is handed out arbitrarily by inspectors. Many business owners do not have this permit, and it's ludicrous that one man who runs a very independent shop geared toward a very small market should be singled out and made to pay for a permit which itself seems bogus and very unclear.

Take a minute, read the article, and contact your councillor, and Joe Pantalone, who is the councillor for that area(Trinity-Spadina). Tell them to get to work on resolving permit issues, and to try and support local businesses, instead of hindering them!
