ELECTION COMMENT:   City Council approved a $2.00 Head Tax increase on every business in Redmond for the 2010-2011 Budget Cycle.  Though, I can't find this on a blog search, the documentation is available on the city website or by asking the City Clerk.  I remember unhappy remarks from business community members during a Chamber meeting last year.  B.Y.
