  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your

  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's

  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Wednesday,
• 0:15
  July 2nd, 2025. Let's get you caught up. As a
• 0:19
  follow -up story, the Sacramento police have
• 0:22
  arrested 54 -year -old Jordan Juan in connection
• 0:25
  with a fatal hit -and -run that occurred Monday
• 0:28
  near the intersection of Fruit Ridge Road and
• 0:31
  25th Street. Juan is accused of striking a woman
• 0:34
  with his vehicle and fleeing the scene. The woman
• 0:37
  was pronounced dead at the scene. Juan was booked
• 0:40
  into the Sacramento County main jail on felony

  other news, the California excise tax jumped
• 0:51
  to 19%. On Tuesday, California's cannabis excise
• 0:57
  tax has increased from 15 % to 19%. It's an adjustment
• 1:02
  that many businesses say could be detrimental
• 1:05
  to an already struggling industry. In response,
• 1:09
  the California Assembly Bill 564 has been introduced
• 1:12
  and aims to repeal the required cannabis excise
• 1:16
  tax rate adjustments outlined in AB 195. If passed,
• 1:22
  AB 564 would maintain the current 15 % rate,
• 1:27
  avoiding the periodic hikes tied to revenue goals.
