EMERYVILLE, CA (KGO) — One East Bay mayor is refusing to pay his business license tax. It’s an important source of revenue for any city, but the Emeryville mayor has a reason for not paying — one that many people around the Bay Area understand all too well.

Mayor Ken Bukowoski opposed Emeryville’s business tax license when it came before the city council four years ago.

“I do think it should be changed,” said Mayor Bukowski.
