California lawmakers face backlog as session nears end
In Sacramento a rush of bills including tax measures and a possible pay raise for legislators dominates the last month of the session. Governor Brown opposes liquor and gas tax hikes but supports constitutional amendments to enable broader business taxation with a simple majority. A costly mansion renovation and calls to curb medical malpractice insurance remain on the agenda. In Sunland California, a large brush fire in the Angeles National Forest burned 7,620 acres with no casualties and a $4.5 million bill.
