Bill Would Use Surplus to Delay Sales Tax for Year
Sacramento Republican Sen. Milton Marks proposes delaying the June 1 sales tax increase for one year using an $850 million budget surplus. His plan, backed by a rival Republican, would forgo the seven month delay bill advanced by Assembly Republican Kenneth Cory. The measure would cut tax hikes for renters and homeowners, offering targeted relief if enacted.

Surplus eyed for rainy day in California budget plan
Finance Director Verne Orr urged Governor Reagan to reserve 100 to 200 million of an 850 million revenue surplus as a rainy day fund to balance the 1078 74 budget. He favors keeping cash rather than returning all to taxpayers, with prior talk of an income tax cut. The surplus stems from carryover 256 million and 230 million in federal sharing. A separate bill proposes constitutional protection for newsmen to refuse source disclosure.

California Senate package targets air piracy and skyjacking
A Senate subcommittee proposes an air piracy package granting California control of airport security, with a death penalty for skyjacking. SB 457 would have the CHP coordinate security at 34 air ports, require passenger and baggage searches, and fund security with a new cent ticket tax expected to yield 26 million yearly. The plan adds hijacking penalties and cites federal funding shortfalls.
