State Sales Tax?
So how much is your sales tax these days?
Just noticed quite a few people roaming around trying to get people to sign petitions to reduce the state of MA sales tax, which I don't think is all that bad. It's 6.25% at the moment.
They could do with ditching it on second hand sales though, especially cars, but I don't see that happening

It's county-by-county in Ohio. Cuyahoga County is 7.75% 
I we can find merchandise we want in Lake County or Lorain County it's only 6.25%.

8.25% here in Plano, TX.
6.25% is state-wide. 2% is local, but is basically the same over most of North Texas.
