Tax Hike Test Tests Governor Brown's Pledge
Sacramento reports Gov. Edmund G. Brown faces a tough test as a bill to raise the gas tax by one cent a gallon and to adjust truck fees moves through the Legislature. Sen. Randolph Collier and Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh propose amendments to fund rapid transit, with counties able to raise local taxes for transit if approved. The measure, passed by the Senate, hinges on county votes and could yield about 70 million dollars annually for roads and streets, with Los Angeles County potentially gaining 12 to 13 million.
