Brown to Sign Oil Tax Change in California
Gov. Brown says he will sign a measure ending the 22 percent oil depletion deduction for large producers to raise tax justice. The Assembly approved Senate changes with Assemblyman Bill Lockyer arguing it restores public confidence, while opponents warn production may fall with fewer marginal wells.
