Delaware town seeks to give businesses right to vote

“‘…Proponents of this bill have tried to frame this as an innocuous way to give business owners more power…” why do business owners need more power?
Well workers outnumber business owners and that's not fair! :V

What benefit(s) would this provide to residents of this town? I'm not understanding how this could be considered reasonable at all.
“‘...Proponents of this bill have tried to frame this as an innocuous way to give business owners more power...” why do business owners need more power?
Article goes on to say that the change wouldn't allow local business owners two votes in the elections, but would allow non-local business owners to vote twice - once in their regular voting location and once in this town's elections. Seems totally transparent that this is a power grab for the big guys.
