Moscone drafts an alternative to Reagan tax plan
Democrats led by George Moscone reveal an alternative tax package to Reagan’s revisions. It would boost homeowner exemptions to 2000 dollars, offer renters a 100 dollar rebate, and rely on withholding to raise revenue while avoiding sales tax hikes. Moscone says the plan aims to relieve lower income Californians and reduces oil depletion allowances, but he cautions support hinges on fellow legislators.
