Consumer Protection Bill Killed by Senate

In Sacramento the Senate defeated a major consumer protection bill 13 to 18. Author Sen.

Southern California Gas Tax Revenue Hike Approved

The Assembly Transportation Committee approved a second version of legislation to boost Southern California to 60 percent of highway funds, up from 55, with Northern California at 40 percent.
