Voters split on tax amendment across the state
California voters debated a constitutional tax amendment with a simple majority needed to pass. About 45 percent favored, 45 percent opposed, and 10 percent had no opinion. A two thirds majority would be required for future increases in business or personal income and sales taxes. The measure backed by California supporters won 67 percent in some counties. In Marin County, authorities identified 31 year old physician David I Robbie whose body was found on rocks near the span after an abandoned car was left at a vista point.
