L B Retailers Win Battle Against Levy in Long Beach
Long Beach retailers Association defeated a proposed Uniform Sales Tax Bill in the California Senate Taxation Committee. The plan would have raised the city’s sales tax from 3 percent to 4 percent, impacting about 150 million dollars in annual sales and costing local shoppers roughly 1.5 million dollars yearly. President C. F. Bishop led the effort, arguing the measure unconstitutional for Long Beach and noting the bill would complicate tax collection in cities already with municipal taxes. The association hopes the defeat ends the bill this session.
