Gasoline Tax Rise Sways to Reagan's OK
A state gasoline tax increase from seven to eight cents per gallon for up to six months awaits Governor Reagan's signature. The plan, born of a compromise between Assembly and Senate leaders, would run from June 1 to November 30, 1969, with an option to end early after 30 days if revenue goals are met. Duke Cullen urged using existing general and special fund surpluses for flood recovery and urged constituents in Long Beach and nearby areas to lobby the governor against broad fund use. In a separate report, Huntington Beach resident Edward Greiner learned his brother Laverne was aboard the EC-121 shot down over the Sea of Japan, and recounted family memories and hope for a possible survivor.
