Pacific Grove will not be allowed to implement the half-cent sales tax that voters approved in November. That’s because the California Department Of Tax And Fee Administration will not administer the tax, due to ambiguous language in a resolution that referred to a wrong municipal code, which was actually fixed back in December. The language on last November’s ballot is not in question.
The increase was supposed to go into effect April 1st, and the city says without the added revenue, they will need to limit some services the city generally provides to residents.
