State experts ready new tax proposal
SACRAMENTO UPI Top Brown administration tax experts say they are preparing a simplified property tax relief proposal to avoid legislative wrangling. Finance Director Roy Bell notes they are considering alternatives while basics mirror Gov Brown’s plan, including revenue limits and a split roll, with income and home value as the relief basis. The split roll amendment already cleared the legislature for the June 1978 ballot. Bell says the circuit breaker formula faced past opposition but can be adjusted to address concerns from Republicans and some Democrats.

Senate panel passes Redwood expansion measure
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved a bill to expand Redwood National Park by 48,000 acres to curb erosion from surrounding logging. The measure, authorizing 359 million dollars, moves to the Senate floor but faces House Committee gridlock and possible delay to next session. No funds are provided to assist workers displaced by the expansion, though Sen. Cranston plans to seek restoration of 40 million for logging-industry workers on the floor.
