State tax cut moves to Assembly after Senate OK
California bills to cut state income taxes move to the Assembly after unanimous Senate approval. The package raises dependent exemptions from 400 to 3,600 and allows medical deductions above 3 percent of gross income. Senator Robert McCarthy says the changes align state with federal rules and provide taxpayer relief. He cites estimated costs of 5 million and 1.5 million dollars respectively, plus a separate capital gains conformity measure with no revenue estimate.
