Senate panel kills extra school aid
SACHRAMENTO AP A Senate committee killed legislation Monday that would give schools an additional 78 million dollars in state aid to battle inflation. The measure by Sen. Ralph Dills died on a 3-8 vote in the Senate Finance Committee. Dills indicated a possible future effort or amendment to address present needs, blaming Gov. Brown for the defeat. The bill would have pumped 78 million into school budgets this fiscal year and 85 million for the next year, though critics warned affordability.

Tax initiative aims to ease tax hikes in California
A coalition led by the League of Women Voters will seek a ballot measure to drop the two thirds vote for tax hikes to a simple majority, targeting bank and corporation taxes. The plan needs 499,846 signatures for the June 1976 ballot. Officials say it signals broader tax reform, though the Assembly recently rejected a similar measure.
