Voters agreed to this “…0.5 percent sales tax for transportation and the indefinite extension of an existing 0.5 percent sales tax also dedicated to transportation and originally set to expire in 2039” back in November. On top of it, we get hit with the recently enacted (without voter approval) gas tax and increase in vehicle registration fees (Thank you Jerry Brown, et al.). I think it’s time to stop using “transportation” as the scapegoat for padding the general budget…
I thought I read in 2039 it increases to 1%….it says it will go into perpetuity unless voters stop it …
I didn’t vote for it ?
Judy Longyear Rich I didn’t either. ?
Judy Longyear Rich me neither. ?

I already thought we were paying 9.25%.
No. Currently we are at 8.75%

This is just the beginning! Gas tax, minimum wage increases. Cost of living increase about to explode.
So much for small business friendly
It’s all of LA County.
shop out of the area on big items 7.2%..wortht the field trip to make a statement
The Liberal Voter Agreed to this like every other tax increase
Thank you always wondering what I was going to do with that little bit of money left over
This is why we’re in Florida and didn’t move back. I’ll visit. My heart is there. Traffic and tax’s. The price of living and houses has got out of control. All cuz the weather is awesome
We moved to Florida for the same reasons you did Darlene. Sales tax in our county ~ 6%. And our gasoline is not taxed as much as California.
Thank all the democrats living in this city.
I’m a Democrat and I do not support any tax increases.
Lawrence Nissen I’m pleased that you don’t sir. ????

This increase is only 1/2 cent but it’s on top of 8.75 and the gov. Has spent all that and more on who knows what. Care of illigals(not all Hispanic either) Chinese in San.francisco who’ve over stayed their visa,etc.how many times have we voted for more taxes for roads,schools, etc. soooo let’s see where this 1/2 cent really ends up!!
And I’m so happy this will go to fund pensions and entitlements

Im sure this was too be funny but we cant give a middle finger to paying more taxes then sit here and claim education and insurance should be more affordable.
Well that explains all the road work being done in our valley.
