Under the new healthcare reform law, small businesses fear they will no longer be able to insure their employees.
It looks as if small businesses are about to take another hit. Critics of Obama's healthcare reform law are claiming the Health Insurance Tax (HIT), included as part of the law, will cost small businesses and their employees billions of dollars in fees. According to the National Federation of Independent Business, the cost of health insurance is the No. 1 issue facing small business owners today. And with healthcare reform looming, the NFIB, which opposed the new law, fears the costs will only rise. Check out the small business stories on South Tampa Patch Forty-three percent of small companies with less than 50 employees now offer health insurance to their employees while 96 percent of small firms with more than 50 employees offer health …

Tampa's crowds never brought vendors the big bucks, but Charlotte is off to a strong start.
Convention crowds may have been a no-show for the most part downtown at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, but they're already out in force for Charlotte's Democratic National Convention, which officially kicks off Tuesday. A walk around the rain-soaked restaurants near Charlotte Convention Center on Monday found steady lines of people spending money. "I'm happy so far," said Bob Morrison, owner of the "The Sandwich Club," a takeout food shop which opened in 1996. "I'm just hoping it stays like this." "Today was great," said Marlys Sielsky, chief hospitality officer for Matt's Chicago Dog. "It exceeded expectations." In Tampa, business owners lamented last week that, "We åwere told this would be our Christmas. Instead we have …

Small business has been a major theme both inside and outside the Tampa Bay Times Forum this week. With events tied to the 2012 Republican National Convention taking place in all parts of the Tampa Bay area, many local business owners prepared to have the biggest money making week of their year. At the beginning of the convention, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the 2012 Tampa Host Committee projected a $150 – 175 million boost to Tampa’s economy because of the 2012 RNC. "The way the City (of Tampa) and the Downtown Partnership put it out, we'd have 50,000 visitors and we'd be swamped," said Marc Zolkowski earlier this week. Zolkowski is the co-owner of the Metro Lounge and Restaurant in downtown Tampa. His neighboring business owner, …

Annie Okerlin of Yogani Studios is helping RNC attendees find an "Oasis" in Tampa, but her bigger passion is helping injured veterans heal through yoga.
A few blocks away from the hustle and bustle and nonstop noise of politicians, journalists, protesters and law enforcement colliding at the Republican National Convention, Annie Okerlin is providing a bit of serenity. Okerlin, who owns Yogani Studios in South Tampa, is one of several yoga instructors pitching in at the "Oasis," a posh yoga and massage station and spa set up inside Aja Channelside and sponsored by The Huffington Post. The scent of grapefruit candles wafts through the air of the second-floor sanctuary, which features a squishy, padded floor, dim lighting and a juice bar serving coconut water. Politicians, journalists and celebrities have been invited to the Oasis, intended to be a respite from the stresses that come with …
