From the transcript
Mr. Clerk, please call the roll. Mayor, had a quick, uh, note. Oh, please, um, Councilman Claus, with respect to this particular ordinance, if I— I do have a business license here, but if I was actively in business here in North Pole and I heard this conversation this evening, I would be pretty disappointed. And under certain circumstances, I might be inclined to move my business elsewhere, and I would not like to see that happen personally.
