Brown OKs tax break for state legislators
Gov. Brown signed a bill exempting legislators per diem payments from state taxes, a move that could save some lawmakers more than two thousand dollars. The bill also enables California to negotiate income tax withholding for military pay in the state and shifts child care from a deduction to a credit, aiming to align with federal tax rules and provide a six point six million dollar break for non subsidized taxpayers. The Franchise Tax Board may still tax some per diem and seek court resolution if retroactive exemptions prove unconstitutional.

Brown reverses stance on taxing multinationals in California
Sacramento reports Gov. Brown endorsed ratifying a United Kingdom treaty that would end California’s unitary tax system for multinational firms. The Franchise Tax Board estimates a potential $125 million annual revenue loss, while Brown cites $16 to $20 million and mentions a possible positive net impact. The move drew criticism from critics who say it favors big business, though supporters from the California Council for International Trade argue ratification boosts California’s role as a global trade hub.

Los Angeles to buy Arizona power raising city rates
The Los Angeles City Council approved a plan for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to obtain 20 percent of its energy from Arizona starting in 1979. A 5.5 percent rate hike this fiscal year will be added to a 12.5 percent total increase, to fund a $265.1 million pact with Salt River Project for about 210,000 kilowatts daily. Protests cited price gouging and potential recalls, as officials noted possible electric shortages in 1979 and plants near Los Angeles under construction or awaiting later to come online.
