California city considering ballot initiative to raise taxes on business licenses
Redwood City’s business license tax would increase for the first time since 1995 under a measure the city council is poised to place on the November election ballot. The council is scheduled to decide Monday whether to ask city voters Nov. 3 to raise the current annual tax rate of $37 per business plus $24 per full-time employee to $43 per business plus $28 per full-time employee, beginning July 1, 2010.
