Los Angeles may be getting new taxes

Los Angeles City Council Members are feuding over new tax proposals.

Councilman Dennis Zine says he will not support a three dollar a month tax increase to fight gang violence unless more of the money is allocated to the San Fernando Valley.

Councilwoman Janice Hahn says the money will go to help people in need in all regions.

However, Councilman Bill Rosendahl wants the government to do more.

Rosendahl wants the M-T-A to seek a full one percent sales tax increase.

The M-T-A is currently asking for the maximum at a half percent increase.

Last week, Rosendahl proposed that the state should increase the amount an agency can seek.

If the proposals pass, voters will decide in November if they support the tax increase.

Tax increases require a 66 percent vote approval.
