Sales taxes in the United States
Hello and welcome! Thanks for your edit here. But the prior text talks about a change to the tax rate made in 2018. However, the footnote points to a news article from 2015. Could you find a news article proving the 11.5% rate, or especially the act that raised it? Wikipedia is not a place where we blog about life where we are from, but a place to make "encyclopedic" statements for which we can point to proof.

The paragraph is talking about the highest and lowest taxes in the U.S. Puerto Rico is in parentheses because it is not a state but a commonwealth. So the point is that California is the highest-sales-tax state (but PR is the highest-sales-tax place). I don't think we need the whole story about how it came to be so.

Also please look at the history of the article, as another user edited this same text a week ago. (I wrote to him too.) Spike-from-NH (talk) 18:36, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
