Don't close the high road — Press-Enterprise (Riverside, California)
Type: Press
Author(s): Bob Pratte
Source: Press-Enterprise (Riverside, California)
Hopefully Monday’s deluge will wash away the Church of Scientology’s wish to vacate a section of Gilman Springs Road. Scientology officials want to close the road where it runs through Gilman Hot Springs, home to their Golden Era film and sound studios near San Jacinto. Scientology leaders maintain that the busy, curvy road is too dangerous to carry traffic, but on Monday, the high road was one of the safest routes between the San Jacinto Valley and the world. Like many ...

Court of Appeal rejects millionaires’ challenge to income tax — Metropolitan News-Enterprise (Los Angeles, California)

A ballot initiative imposing a tax on millionaires to fund mental health services did not violate equal protection, this district’s Court of Appeal ruled yesterday. Reasoning that taxpayers earning more than $1 million annually do not comprise a “suspect class” requiring strict scrutiny analysis, Div. Two rejected a challenge to Proposition 63 by two La Canada Scientologists. Proposition 63 was passed in 2004 and expanded funding for mental health services for all Californians by imposing an additional tax of 1 percent ...
