Agreed. It’s also a reminder to the voter that these sales tax exist and a reminder they can be lowered or eliminated.

Virtually every other country lists prices inclusive of sales tax. People are still aware of sales tax.
There are pros to it, sure. How opposed you are to the sales tax could help dictate how much you want people reminded of it.
Sales taxes are good because tourists pay them. Most people mad about taxes hate property taxes, because they want to move all the tax burden to tourists (and their own children.)
