Buffalo & Erie County Tax Hike
As I ranted for a bit last week about the election results in Buffalo and Erie County, I figured I would toss in this little update.
Today, the county legislators voted 10-5 to increase the sales tax by one half of one percent, thus increasing the sales tax in the county from 8.25% to 8.75%.
This isn't much of a surprise, particularly since they intentionally held these votes off until after Election Day. No shock here.
New York State previously dropped their sales tax by 0.25%, but Erie County quickly picked up that quarter-percent to claim as their own. Things are getting better and better around here.
