Drought Draws Potential 272 Million Revenue Hit for California
Sacramento experts warn drought could trim state revenues by 272 million if growth slows to about 10 percent. Budget analyst A Alan Post says tax increases may be needed to fund Gov Brown’s property tax relief and school finance, though a finance official questions the projection. Post notes current drought severity was unanticipated and could ripple beyond agriculture, affecting energy and other sectors. Two FBI fugitives arrested reduce the bureau’s 100 most wanted list, Pavan in Washington state and Martin in California, linked to armed robbery and a kidnap rape case respectively.
