Backup bill offered for property tax relief in California
SACRAMENTO UPI Gov Ronald Reagan promotes a $155 million property tax relief plan backed up by an alternative measure from Assemblyman Ken MacDonald. The MacDonald bill would enable counties to collect a 4 cent sales tax to fund relief if the Veneman plan fails, while the Veneman proposal funnels funds from the state sales tax into property tax relief and other programs. Both aim to provide roughly the same relief to taxpayers amid Easter recess discussions.
