Sales Tax Increase for San Carlos???

July 17, 2009

I know the city needs money, but geeeeee…… We will be voting on the November 3rd ballot to increase the sales tax to 9.75, the highest of any city in San Mateo, San Francisco or Santa Clara counties. I think this would hurt the local busineeses that are hurting enough during these times. I think a lot of people would start shopping away from San Carlos, just when we were bringing them back. Let me know what you think and if anyone has some better ideas.
