A ruling by the state Supreme Court has brought an end to San Francisco's attempts to ban handguns in the city.
In a ruling Wednesday, the court unanimously rejected the city's appeal of a lower-court ruling that sharply limited the ability of localities to regulate firearms.
The ruling deals a final blow to Proposition H, an initiative voters passed in November of 2005.
Now the bad news:
Joe Six-pack will have to pay a lot more to get his buzz on if Assemblyman Jim Beall has his way.
The San Jose Democrat on Thursday proposed raising the beer tax by $1.80 per six-pack, or 30 cents per can or bottle. The current tax is 2 cents per can. That's an increase of about 1,500 percent.
First, ethanol subsidies drove up the price of bread, beef, and beer. Now they want a new tax on beer. This is unacceptable.
