Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti’s 1.5 billion property tax relief plan encounters strong pushback from the Reagan administration and business groups at its first hearing.

Opponents argue it shifts burden to banks and corporations and question school-finance controls, amid talk of voter action if the measure fails.
