This seems like it would be so easy to game, the way it’s written the “owner” of the business gets the right to vote, and the business has to have a physical presence in the town.

It would be trivial to buy a small building in town and have it jointly owned by multiple LLCs, or lease portions of the building to multiple LLCs to manufacture votes.

The intent of the law isn’t even necessarily bad. If you have a small business in the town but you live just outside it, it does seem like you should still have some say in town politics. But there’s little chance that this won’t be systematically abused.

Yeah, this absolutely exists if you can find a 100% remote position, though you will still need to make time for meetings outside of your preferred schedule.
