Property tax relief hopeful. California plan shields homeowners
California legislature rushes to adjourn after approving a bipartisan property tax relief plan. It shifts 269.5 million of local government costs to state taxes for 1969-70 and offers a 70 dollar annual tax cut for homeowners via a 750 exemption, funded by state revenues and a 183 million replacement for local losses. The measure heads to voters as Proposition 1-A while Proposition 9 could conflict. The package also raises the standard deduction for renters, cuts the business inventory tax by 15 percent, and keeps the state sales tax at five cents.
