Los Angeles considers air travel tax and stock transfer levy
A two part revenue plan to cover a 21.5 million deficit was presented to the Los Angeles City Council by Councilman Ernant Bernardi and John S. Gibson Jr. It calls for a one dollar per passenger intrastate airline levy and a stock transfer tax of one to four cents per share. The plan projects about one million annually from the stock tax and thirty five million yearly from the airline levy. The piece also notes Mayor Sam Yorty signed two taxes, a one percent sales tax and a five percent alcohol tax, with potential state action or court challenges. In a separate governance note, Gordon Whitnall criticizes the mayor's appointments handling as conflicting with the city charter. Burglars in Long Beach steal coins, cash receipts, and a color TV from Gas Chamber Bar, totalling over 975 dollars.
