Assembly Rejects Two Oil Tax Increase Measures in California
California Assembly rejected two efforts to raise taxes on oil companies by a 41 to 31 vote. Burton’s bill would end the 27 percent depletion allowance and treat drilling costs as business expenses, aiming to boost annual state revenue by about 26 million dollars. The measure failed amid opposition from industry and several lawmakers, with Lanterman’s amendment also failing to align with federal tax rules.

He counted minority employment and found it less than expected, accusing officials of tokenism and lack of a genuine outreach campaign. Ed Gray, Reagan's assistant press secretary, questioned the tour's purpose, calling publicity the likely motive and doubting its impact on the problem.
