Thompson business owners are facing challenges due to the City’s social issues and McDonald’s owner wants city council to do something about it.

Brett O’Meara says the City appears to have made public intoxication, vandalism, trespassing, and littering acceptable.

O’Meara says he loses customers because these social issues reflect poorly on his business. He acknowledges successes in recent programs, but wants council to take a zero-tolerance policy on the issue.

Mayor Dennis Fenske says the City has seen improvements in the last 5 years, and believes the City is moving in the right direction.
