Reagan asserts tax plan won't shift burden in California
Governor Reagan told the League of California Cities that Prop 1 on the November ballot would not shift funding from the state to local property taxpayers. He said safeguards ensure financing for any new or expanded local programs, with state reimbursements approved by the legislature. Opponents warn local taxes could rise if state support wanes, while the Los Angeles City Council backs Prop 1 and a broader shift in funding. Reagan urged swift passage, criticizing campaign tactics against Prop 1 and defending past criticisms of the Coastline Initiative.
