The Commission on the 21st Century Economy, set up to give recommendations to the governor and legislature on reforming California’s tax structure, was due to issue its report on April 15th. At the Commission meeting held at UC Berkeley today, Commission Chairman Gerald Parsky recommended that in light of the special election on May 19 which will deal with budget and tax issues, the commission should seek an extension for its report until sometime during the summer. The commission members unanimously agreed. Parksky noted that new commission meetings will be added to the schedule if the commission’s life is extended. Only one more meeting was scheduled to be held April 9 at UC Davis. The Commission will need a revised executive order from the governor to change the due date of its report. More on the commission hearing at Fox and Hounds later.
