California cigarette tax during budget fight with withholding plan
In Sacramento the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee approved a Democratic plan to add income tax withholding starting Jan. 1 to balance a 6.8 billion state budget. Senator Walter W. Stiern warned the move may unfairly tax smokers, while Senator Randolph Collier pushed for higher cigarette taxes to avoid future deficits. A rival 3 cent per pack proposal by Assemblyman William Bagley was rejected. Reagan aides supported withholding with possible consent to a Stiern tax increase.
