California tax bill seeks solvent credits and refunds
Veneman faced a Senate committee as the bill proposes solvent credits and a tax refund to the aged.

Veneman argued the withholding feature closes a December cash-flow gap he estimated at 153 million dollars and recovers 20 million in taxes now escaped by in and out of state movers.
