Governor bars more tax-reform bargaining
Governor Heagan says his final offer on tax reform stands and there will be no further bargaining. The $1.2 billion package was tabled as 16 days of negotiations collapsed, with talks stalling over local spending controls and how much to raise the state income tax. Democratic leader Moretti warned odds favor no resumption, while both sides exchanged information only through intermediaries. Democrats may press a $1.4 billion plan or push a balanced approach via payroll withholding, capital gains cuts, oil depletion allowances, and a minimum income tax if talks fail.

Judge backs state on welfare kin role
A Sacramento County judge refused to halt welfare reform provisions requiring relatives and stepfathers to support recipients. He issued a temporary restraining order for three plaintiffs and set October 1 for a possible permanent order while upholding most of the measure. The ruling follows earlier suits by welfare rights groups amid the plan’s rollout. The state Supreme Court already paused a cash grant payment shift affecting roughly two thirds of recipients.
