Special vote looms in Miller seat race in California
A special election to fill the late Senator George Miller Jr. seat could tilt control of the 40 member California Senate and the state legislature during Reagan's third year. The vacancy in the Contra Costa District also opens the Senate Finance Committee chair. Republicans hold a 20 19 edge and a win could solidify GOP leadership as the session begins.

Nixon tax reform bill predicted by key Republican senator
Senate Finance Committee member Sen. John J. Williams of Delaware predicted President elect Nixon will send a comprehensive tax reform bill after the Jan 20 inauguration. He warned that without large spending cuts, tax reform may not help the average taxpayer and suggested reducing the oil depletion allowance from 27.5 to 20 percent in three stages, estimating about $800 million in annual revenue. He also doubted proposals to curb very rich tax avoidance via exempt bonds.
