I'm going to take a passive aggressive approach to any sales tax increase…buy as little of anything that comes with a sales tax here in NY state.
Also, purchase as much as I can via the internet using money orders (no direct paper trail to me) and when out of state for other reasons....shop.
WNYR mentioned that by doing so I'd be punishing local businesses...sorry, but if you do have a business in this county and you charge sales tax you should be banging down you local legislators door expressing your displeasure with such an increase.
