LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A much-debated gas tax hike billed as raising billions of dollars a year for statewide transportation improvements will remain in place, with voters rejecting a ballot measure that would have repealed the increase.Proposition 6 would have repealed the hikes that took effect in November 2017, raising the tax by 12 cents per gallon for gasoline and 20 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. The increases included in Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair & Accountability Act of 2017, are projected to raise .2 billion a year, with the money earmarked for road and bridge repairs.Gas tax opponents gathered more than 640,000 petition signatures across the state in an initiative drive to put the repeal effort on the ballot. The drive was spearheaded by former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, and it was funded in part by Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox.YOUR VOICE YOUR VOTE: See results of key races"The cost of living is already on the increase in California and families are struggling to survive. This is unacceptable," DeMaio said earlier this year of the gas tax hike. DeMaio and other Prop 6 backers contend that under the gas tax and vehicle registration fee hikes, the average family of four can expect to pay almost 0 more this year alone. A ballot argument co-authored by Cox in favor of Proposition 6 dismisses contentions that the gas tax funding is critical to fixing the state's roads and improving transportation in the state. "Don't be fooled by opponents who claim there is no money to fix roads if Prop 6 passes," the ballot argument states. "If the transportation- related taxes and fees we already paid before this new tax increases took effect were spent on transportation, the state would have .6 billion annually for transportation needs, without raising taxes."Opponents of the measure blasted the proposition, insisting that repealing the gas tax would eliminate funding for transportation projects statewide. In Los Angeles, a recent City Administrative Office report estimated that eliminating SB1 funding would cost the city .5 million in funding this fiscal year alone, while the county could lose more than billion.Gov. Jerry Brown, who championed the gas tax, has been vocal in his opposition to Proposition 6."The test of American strength is whether we defeat this stupid repeal measure which is nothing more than a Republican stunt to get a few of their losers returned to Congress," Brown said during a recent event at Los Angeles Union Station. "And we're not going to let that happen." 2585

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization is acknowledging the possibility that COVID-19 might be spread in the air under certain conditions.This comes after an open letter from more than 200 scientists published this week urging the agency to do so.WHO has long dismissed the possibility that the coronavirus is airborne except for certain risky medical procedures, such as when patients are first put on breathing machines.But it noted on Thursday that studies evaluating COVID-19 outbreaks in restaurants, choir practices and fitness classes suggested the virus might have been spread in the air. 609

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A series of changes in California intended to boost voter turnout and smooth the primary election led to a surge in last-minute voters and computer problems that appeared to catch elections officials by surprise. On Wednesday, there was scathing criticism for the failures, particularly in the nation's most populous county. Los Angeles County did not have enough working voting machines or check-in tools and had a shortage of poll workers. That led to wait times of two hours or more. Voting advocates say the state may have tried to do too many new things at once and warned that changes are needed before November. 646

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Even as coronavirus cases rise across California, hundreds of people gathered at the beach in Orange County for a religious event. The Los Angeles Times reports Sunday that several hundred people met in Huntington Beach on Friday for a weekly worship event that has been held since early July. Organizers provided hand sanitizers and masks, but many participants didn’t wear them. Police cited an organizer over allegedly promoting the event without a permit. California has been struggling with a rise in virus cases, and Gov. Gavin Newsom recently barred churches in much of the state from holding services indoors.RELATED: Ignoring state orders, some San Diego churches appear to be holding servicesSome San Diego churches plan to host indoor services this weekend despite restrictions 815

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Christmas gatherings can’t go ahead and non-essential shops must close in London and much of southern England as he imposed a new, higher level of coronavirus restrictions to curb sharply spreading infections. Johnson said the capital and other areas in southern England will move to an even stricter Tier 4 alert category that requires non-essential shops, hairdressers and indoor leisure venues to close after the end of business hours Saturday. Johnson also said that a planned five-day easing of socializing rules that would allow up to three households to meet in “Christmas bubbles” will be canceled for Tier 4 areas. In the rest of England, people will be allowed to meet in Christmas bubbles for just one day instead of five, as the government originally planned.“It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you we cannot proceed with Christmas as planned,” Johnson said.A fast-moving new variant of the coronavirus that is more than 70% more transmissible than existing strains appears to be driving the rapid spread in London and southern England, Johnson said. London now has the highest infection rates in England.“There’s no evidence to suggest it is more lethal or causes more severe illness,” he stressed, or that vaccines will be less effective against it.England’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, said the U.K. has alerted the World Health Organization that the new variant identified this week appears to be accelerating the spread of COVID-19. The government’s scientific advisers came to that conclusion based on preliminary modelling figures, and they are continuing to analyze the available data, he said. 1699
