Some things to think about on Measure A
Posted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sunday, 4 June 2006URGENT
City of Merced Measure C raised sales tax to 7.75%. With passage of Measure A, Merced City sales tax would be 8.25%. A half a cent less than the highest sales tax rates in the state. Sales taxes fall hardest on people with fixed incomes ( senior citizens and citizens with special needs) and low incomes. Merced leaders constantly repeat that Merced County is poorer that Appalachia.
So why are they asking us to pay close to the highest sales tax rate in the state?
