In Sacramento the Senate defeated Gov Brown’s $4.2 billion tax relief proposal 21 to 15 after heavy lobbying from business interests. Critics warned of a $3.1 billion tax hike over five years and a $1.5 billion deficit, while the Brown administration said no deficit would occur. About 69 percent of homeowners and 8 percent of renters would qualify for rebates with some groups excluded.
