California Assembly Leader Seeks 20 Million Tax Cut Announced
Assemblyman William Munnell proposes a 20 million dollar yearly personal income tax cut as part of a budget session agenda.

Governor Knight backs spending without new or increased taxes amid debate over water reform and the Feather River Project.
