Proposition K Sales Tax Dollars
09/08/06
I don't know if you knew this, but in San Francisco the sales tax is 8.5%. I believe California sales tax is 7.5%. So, somehow in a proposition called K voters made the sales tax here 8.5%. Every once in a while you see a sign that says "Proposition K Sales Tax Dollars at Work." Usually it is on busses or near a construction site. However, I thought this sign was an all time low. Replacement of the Edge tiles on the BART system. What a useless way to spend money. The edge tiles were perfectly fine. But, it gets worse; look at all those people it took to get this edge tile replacement done. There are like 15 commissioners there and not a one of them is going to actually be replacing the edge tiles. The Bureaucracy is hopeless.
