Where are the In Home Day Care Providers in GT

Pa

Do you know of in home day care in the city? Who has the oversight for these businesses, and why are they allowed to have "Clients" come to their home based businesses when other Home Based Businesses may not have "Clients" come to their home/business?

Shouldn't we have all home based businesses listed in GT on the City Web Page, and shouldn't all be paying taxes and have a business license? This is about fair and equal taxes and application of laws.

I know you have moved.... perhaps to no zone land somewhere.... but, you may know the answer to my question. You see there is a part of me who would like to do business with only businesses with a current GT Business License... but a complete list is not on the City Web Site, so it is not easy for me to know if a particular service is a Licensed Service in GT. In addition GT Business Licenses should require all holders to submit employee lists and have their right to work in GT tested by the E-Check system.

Just some thoughts,,, Hope you have some answers.

Dear Perplexed:

Why the entire up to date list of Current Businesses including Child Care and Group homes is not on the City Web Page is a mystery to me too. But, I think you'll get an answer like well some people don't want their private home address listed publicly. Their inclusion could be limited to the name of the business and business phone number and type of business IF this was a concern. However, if you have a Home Based Business... you decide to surrender your anonymity in getting a business license... and you should be prepared to enjoy all that entails.

I think you can get an entire list at the city counter... it may take a few days.... and there may be businesses not on the list for one reason or another. But, it is a fact there are more businesses than those listed on the City's web page.

Hope all is well in GT.. I do think the City could encourage Home Based Businesses in EVERY HOME as part of its sustainability efforts. A Free Business License for all Home Based Businesses, and a free web site, that offers Credit Card Service for payments and when Payments are made via the web site a service charge and Sales tax will be collected up front... This would justify High Speed Internet Improvements... and Free City Wide Web Access...
