California Senate proposes two cent gas tax hike for transit
Senate President pro tem James Mills proposes a two cent per gallon gasoline tax to fund fixed rail mass transit in California urban centers and add highway money. The plan, effective 1976, could rise if inflation continues, and would create regional transit boards and freeze funds until a fixed rail plan is developed while boosting highway maintenance statewide.
