California tax reform plan faces Reagan objections
A compromise tax reform move in California aimed at ending partisan deadlock draws continued GOP opposition. Assemblyman Joe Gonsalves leads amendments restricting local government to curb property tax restores, while proposing a $1.6 billion package funded by higher income and sales taxes. The bill would cut homeowners property taxes by about 40 percent on average, aid renters, and boost state aid to schools. Over 400 other tax provisions are also amended to close loopholes and adjust rates for equity, but Reagan aides warn no quick settlement on the dispute.

California auto insurance reform killed in Senate panel
A Senate Judiciary Committee vote gutted seven bill package on California auto insurance reform. Sen. John Harmer criticized the move as a special interests triumph and doubts about pushing his remaining four measures. The package sought no fault style provisions, compulsory arbitration for disputes under five thousand dollars, and mandated medical payment coverage, with limits on pain and suffering. State Insurance Commissioner Richards Barger blamed lawyers for the defeat, warning no fault would cut into their earnings.
