Reagan urges Senate pass property tax relief package
Gov. Ronald Reagan hailed his tax relief plan as a major victory and urged the Senate to approve it quickly. He warned against Proposition 8, which he calls a fraud, as California voters prepare for a June 2 ballot. The package would fund property tax relief through withholding, a higher sales tax, and targeted tax changes, with staged revenue totaling about $600 million in the first year and $1 billion by 1974. The measures passed the Assembly and moved to the Senate, backed by a minority of Democrats.
