Brown's Water and Tax Bills Near Victory in California
Gov Brown stated in a statewide radio speech that water and tax proposals are one step from final passage as the legislature nears adjournment. The Ways and Means Committee sent the 1.34 billion water bond to the Assembly floor with a 15-5 vote, signaling final approval next week pending a November 1960 vote by the people. Brown touted a productive session and noted tax bills on horse and dog racing, beer, banks, corporations, and inheritances as poised for Senate action, expected to yield about 81 million annually and contribute to a 217 million total from combined measures within the 256 million requested. He urged fiscal responsibility and outlined pension gains amid an improving economy. A separate report notes the death of geneticist Dr Michael Velukho at 57, reflecting on his contributions and blocked tax initiatives by oil interests.
