BIDs Don't Get Dissolved

No BID has ever been known to be dissolved. This is why we must fight the initial formation of a BID so aggressively. Did anyone know that on the state government website regarding BID formation it states that "If after several public discussions and educational meetings there is still major opposition to the creation of a BID, a community should reconsider whether or not a BID is the right tool to manage its downtown or city/town center."

Given that opposition to the BID has only been increasing, I think it's quite clear a BID is not the right tool at all.
