    Unfortunately taxes aren’t uniform across a metro area or even within a city.

          I’d rather advisements list the highest price for the area they cover than have false advertising with the prices at the store.

          Then leave the advertisement alone. They still print the prices on tags at each store location.

          Let them send out flyers saying item A is $20 *plus local taxes but when you get to the store the pricetag on the shelf should say $23.50 or whatever the markup ends up being at that location.

            The owners of the legislature don’t want that, so it won’t get done.

            The government doesn’t work for you, it works at the behest of those that have long since paid for the “elected” representatives.

            Those people own companies that profit from all the misleading prices and adverts. They don’t have any interest in changing that.
