Measure “A” would make Long Beach an economic island of high taxation and fiscal irresponsibility!
As illustrated above, Long Beach would have the highest city sales tax compared with all its neighbors!
And higher city sales tax than any 100,000+ population city in Southern California. If LA can handle its finances without DOUBLE DIGIT SALES TAX, why can’t leaders in Long Beach?
Of the 1,785 municipalities listed by the Cal. Board of Equalization, Long Beach would become among the TOP TEN SALES TAXED municipalities!
