Assembly approves two year delay on school tax rate control
In Sacramento the Assembly passed Burke’s measure delaying school boards from setting tax rates without voter approval until July 1, 1973. The vote was 44-5 with Senate action pending. The bill aims to curb expenditures via new controls and directs a legislative plan for the 1970 session. The measure contrasts with a defeated Senate bill seeking to repeal the tax rate authority entirely. A separate vote approved a bill repealing the election day alcohol sales ban, sending it to Gov Reagan.
