In Sacramento on March 18 lawmakers debate a bill by Hollibaugh to cut state taxes by 108 million dollars a year, drawing attacks from Gov. Warren who warns temporary relief could harm the state’s finances. Administrations spokesmen push back, noting a large budget reserves and that most funds cover special purposes like unemployment insurance. The bill seeks a 2 percent sales tax cut to 2.5 percent and a 15 percent cut in personal and corporate income levies, but is unlikely to pass in the Senate.
