California: Sales tax hike possible in Cathedral City
The tail end of the worst economic downturn since the 1930s would not seem to be the ideal time to tack another penny onto every dollar being spent in a community. But that’s what Cathedral City officials will ask voters to consider on the June 8 ballot. Mayor Kathy DeRosa says she didn’t want to broach the topic of sales tax when she and others were putting together questions for a resident survey about methods for balancing the city budget.
