Budget vote set despite welfare clash in California
Sacramento lawmakers prepared to vote on a 1971-72 state budget despite unresolved welfare funding. The assembly debate followed tense hearings between legislative and governor welfare advisers over Reagan reforms, with figures on potential savings ranging from 23.7 to 51.3 million dollars and disputes over work related expenses and relative shares. Carleson postponed full disclosure, promising details by Friday as Sen Burgener’s committee weighs Reagan proposals and Senate action.

Tax package advances in California assembly committee
The $1.6 billion tax reform plan sponsored by Assembly Democrats, led by Joy A. Gonsalves, passed the Assembly Ways and Means Committee on a party line vote amid Reagan administration opposition. The package would cut homeowners taxes about 40 percent, raise income and sales taxes by up to $1.8 billion annually, and allocate funds to schools and counties while using excess to balance the budget. Republican lawmakers warn more work is needed and predict a mid July push for a bipartisan agreement.
