Brown defeats Senate override of liquor tax veto in California
Gov. Edmund G Brown Jr. rejects a Senate move to override his veto of a 37 million liquor tax. The plan would fund alcoholism programs with higher beer and whiskey taxes, but Brown promises reforms and uses surplus funds to expand treatment without new taxes. The vote fell 20 to 19, short of the 27 needed, despite cross party support. Brown praises the Senate while pledging a consolidated 37 million reform package.
