One of the few states that actually has a surplus right now. Sigh I miss WV. In Los Angeles, it is 8.25% (will be going up). _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

I live in Delaware this year, and this is the only thing I like about it Back home, upstate NY near Buffalo, I think they're at a pricey 8.75%. NY state is horrible for taxes in general. I am moving to Maryland this summer and I believe the taxes are very high there, as well

Clairitek Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,835 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/21/2008	Hmm. Depends on what state I am in at the moment. In DE (where I work) it 0%. In RI (where I am from) its 8%. In PA (where I live now) its 7%. You bet I buy as much as I can in DE to save the tax! It took some getting used to living there but now when I buy something outside of DE I am almost offended that they want to tax me! *----** C-tek

Blair138 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,104 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 4/8/2008	10.25% in suburban Cook(Chicago). It's so bad that towns are talking about creating their own county just to get out of Cook because all we do is pay for the city. I live right near Lake County, so I bought a lot of my wedding related items in Lake and I go buy gas in Lake all the time too!
