Leiken asked SUB to take up the issue after he was urged to do so by Springfield Chamber of Commerce officials. The council is set to decide next week whether to institute a new business licensing program that would raise about $250,000 annually for costs to operate a jail. Chamber officials say most local business owners oppose that idea and would prefer to see the money generated through a monthly fee targeting both residences and businesses. That's the appeal of a special fee tacked onto SUB bills. Jail funding "is a communitywide issue, and our hope has always been to find a way (to pay for it) that spreads it out," said Dan Egan, executive director of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce.
