Senate OKs weakened bill banning aerosol propel lants in California
Senate approves a watered down act to ban most fluorocarbon aerosol propellants used in deodorants and hair sprays with July 4 1988 enactment and federal preemption clause. The measure allows limited uses in refrigerators and medical or dental products and relies on industry backed amendments to pass. Critics say the move sacrifices jobs for minor ozone gains while federal action remains uncertain.

Tax break for aged gains in California Senate
SACRAMENTO AP Legislation to let nonwealthy seniors postpone property tax payments cleared the Senate on a 3 to 1 vote. Sen John Needly's bill, matching a voter ballot measure, would allow homeowners aged 62 or older with equity at least 20 percent and income under 1000 to defer taxes equal to their owed amount. Supporters say the plan shields fixed income seniors from losing homes to rising taxes.
