(sandiegouniontribune.com) — Encinitas is one of six San Diego County cities that have never raised sales tax above 7.75%, but a new state law could eventually let regional transit measures push local rates closer to 10%. Lawmakers say any increase would still require voter approval, while taxpayer groups warn that exemptions to the statewide cap may open the door to more hikes countywide.
