Reagan Can Appear But Won't Debate Tax Problems
Sacramento reports that the California Assembly plans a full scale debate on tax issues next Thursday with a potential appearance by Gov. Reagan to defend his revenue plan. Speaker Jesse Unruh proposed a committee of the whole to consider Veneman's five billion tax bill, enabling witnesses and possibly Reagan to testify. Reagan’s office signaled he would likely reject participation while releasing a plan to tax high bracket payers twice yearly, affecting those paying at least two hundred dollars in state income taxes in 1966 with a Sept. to Oct. 15 payment and a ten percent penalty for late payment.
