Los Angeles County has voted to jack up the prices they pay for everyday items by approving a sales-tax increase — in a move critics say will backfire by sending residents across county lines for shopping trips. Measure ER, which passed by more than 25,000 votes, is set to increase sales taxes by half a cent to raise $1 billion annually for hospitals, local health departments and low-income residents needing insurance. The Los Angeles County Registrar’s Office certified the June 2 primary results on Friday, with the LA County Board of Supervisors scheduled to declare the election officially over during its meeting on Tuesday.
