SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Jerry Brown asked voters Monday to increase taxes on sales and the affluent in California, warning of damaging cuts without more money and blaming Republicans for a partisan deadlock. The Democratic governor’s initiative would raise the statewide sales tax by half a cent and impose higher income taxes on people who make least $250,000 a year. The plan would raise $7 billion annually for five years.
