Santa Clara County's hospital lifeline sales tax increase won't affect Silicon Valley residents equally. The temporary five-eighths-cent increase, approved by voters last month as Measure A, will bring the sales tax rate to 10% or higher in three cities where voters have already approved existing local tax measures: Milpitas, Campbell and San Jose. Los Gatos residents will see their sales tax rate go from 9.25% to 9.875%. The county's remaining 11 cities will go from 9.125% to 9.75%.
"Those funding sources allow us to do all those things that keep Campbell, Campbell: filling potholes, fixing streets, repairing the infrastructure," said City Manager Brian Loventhal.
