Updated at 2:30 p.m. to remove names of specific businesses because North Country Now does not accept criticism of local businesses in Sound Off. North Country Now regrets the error. Rick Gilchrist owner of Perry's Market, which was included in the orginal post, says his business is not connected to the church.

I would like to know, as a taxpayer, exactly how many businesses in the Canton/Potsdam area are owned by or associated with the Christian Fellowship Center. I have heard that there are more than the ones commonly known about. Doesn’t the public have a right to know what businesses are supporting this ridiculous lawsuit? I certainly don’t want to support a business that will be forcing taxes to be raised because they want to behave like spoiled children as opposed actually buying property in the correct zone for their use.
