California Senate panel approves 13 month sales tax delay plan
Democrat Sen. Ralph Dills leads SB90 to postpone the June sales tax hike by 13 months from 6 to 7 cents on the dollar with support from Republicans. The measure would divert 674 million of a 852 million surplus toward delaying the tax, funding school aid and property relief. Reagan administration opposes a straightforward delay and favors a broader plan including tax cuts. The bill moves to the Finance Committee for further action as lawmakers weigh surplus use and fiscal outlook.
