Brown faces decision on antismog rollback in California
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr must decide this week whether to sign or veto SB41 rolling back antismog rules for 1.5 million Southern California drivers. The measure would end the 35 nox device requirement for 1966-70 cars in the South Coast Air Basin with Brown facing mounting public pressure and a looming midnight deadline. In Sacramento and L.A., letters and calls flood his offices as supporters push for repeal amid a split public and conflicting scientific claims. Also, lawmakers weigh a separate tax bill ABI77 by Bill Lockyer that would add about 43 million dollars in state revenue. Separately, the Santa Barbara County Superior Court issues a creditor notice for the estate of Alexander Edward Mahan Jr. with a four-month claims period.
