Gov. George Deukmejian signed a bill to forgive a half century of taxes owed by commercial fishing enterprises. The measure, by Assemblyman Gerald N. Felando (R-San Pedro), a former fisherman, lets the industry off the hook for millions that should have been collected from seafood wholesalers, processors and brokers in the past 51 years, according to state auditors and Atty. Gen. John Van de Kamp.
