Assembly Proposal Aims Tax Hikes for Environment Plan
A California assembly committee urged a two year cigarette tax increase and adoption of the seven percent federal tax on new cars to raise 189 million and 110 million respectively, funding a multibillion dollar 10 year program to fight pollution and protect natural resources. If rejected, a 500 million bond issue is proposed. The plan includes a sweeping Environmental Bill of Rights and a 1970 Environment Quality Act, plus regional planning and stricter reporting on projects.
