Thanks for telling us about this. I was recently wondering when the tax free holiday is this year. I made a note on my calendar because I know I’m going to need stuff for my two oldest children.

Aww, nothing for California? Nuts. Oh, right, California is broke, they can’t afford a sales tax holiday.

DC just repealed their sales tax holiday so they wouldn’t lose the revenue. That’s a shame.
