El Monte's Sales Tax > Beverly Hills' Sales Tax!?

So... we all knew the California's sales tax was gonna go up, right? BUT did any of you guys know that El Monte's sales tax is actually higher than Arcadia's?? It's even higher than Beverly Hills' or Bel Air's! WTH! We all know that El Monte is pretty ghetto and has been trying to lure businesses to come, but with higher taxes and all, it really makes me wonder how the city council is going to manage to do that. Honestly, I already do a lot of my shopping in other cities. Sorry to say, this just motivates me to do it more.
