Dennis Carpenter, R-Newport Beach.Carpenter had asked for the probe, saying state tax returns are confidential by law.Reagan’s office issued astatement last week saying the governor had paid no state income taxes for last year because of business reverses. The one-sentence statement was issued after Reagan was questioned about his taxes at his regular weekly news conference .The Sacramento State College student journalist who first broadcast the rumor that Reagan has not paid state income taxes for 1970, Rosemarie King, has refused to disclose how she came across the information,despite questioning from an investigator from the Franchise Tax Board.
