Die Stadt San Diego schlägt eine Erhöhung der Verkaufssteuer vor, um die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie abzufedern. Laut einem Bericht von CBS8 plant die Stadt, die Verkaufssteuer um einen halben Prozentpunkt zu erhöhen, um dringend benötigte Einnahmen zu generieren.

Die Verkaufssteuererhöhung könnte bis zu 194 Millionen US-Dollar pro Jahr einbringen und dazu beitragen, wichtige städtische Dienstleistungen aufrechtzuerhalten. Bürgermeister Todd Gloria betonte die Notwendigkeit dieser Maßnahme, um die Finanzierungslücke zu schließen und die Stadt vor einem finanziellen Notstand zu bewahren.

Die vorgeschlagene Verkaufssteuererhöhung wird voraussichtlich im November zur Abstimmung gestellt, und die Einwohner von San Diego müssen darüber entscheiden, ob sie bereit sind, höhere Steuern zu zahlen, um die Stadt zu unterstützen. Trotz möglicher Bedenken hinsichtlich der Belastung der Verbraucher hofft die Stadt, dass die Maßnahme die Unterstützung der Bürger findet und dazu beiträgt, die städtische Wirtschaft zu stabilisieren.
