$1 Million Raised in Gas Tax Drive : Campaigns: Proponents are well short of $5 million they seek by Election Day. Reports on other fund-raising results are also filed with state.

Backers of a June ballot measure to increase the state gasoline tax have raised only about $1 million of the $5 million in campaign funds they hope to collect before Election Day, state records showed Friday.

“We are confident that the goal will be met, but we would like to see the money coming in faster,” said Bob Schmidt, a spokesman for the political public relations firm handling the campaign for Proposition 111.

The contribution report was among dozens filed Friday with Secretary of State March Fong Eu to disclose campaign fund-raising between Jan. 1 and March 17. The reports, also filed by candidates for the Legislature and statewide office, are the last public measure of campaign financial standing until shortly before the June 5 primary election.

The Proposition 111 gas tax hike would help finance an $18.5-billion, 10-year highway transportation improvement plan worked out last year in a delicate compromise between Gov. George Deukmejian and Democratic legislative leaders.

The committee urging a yes vote on Proposition 111 and a related measure, Proposition 108, reported it collected $962,789 and spent $631,193 during the first three months of this year. Major contributors so far include the Correctional Peace Officers Assn., $80,222; Californians for Planned Economic Growth, $75,000; the state Chamber of Commerce’s business political action committee, $60,000, and the Alliance of Trades and Maintenance, $50,000.

If approved by the voters, Proposition 111 would, in effect, add another 5 cents a gallon to the state gas tax as of Aug. 1 and tack on another penny each year until 1995. It also would trigger a 55% increase in truck weight fees. In addition, the state spending limit would be modified to allow more spending for highway improvements.

Proposition 108 calls for a $1-billion bond issue for rapid transit purposes.

In the Republican primary race for lieutenant governor, Sen. John Seymour of Anaheim reported raising $107,870, while Sen. Marian Bergeson (R-Newport Beach) collected $80,021. Seymour ended the period with $391,175 in the bank to Bergeson’s $161,866.

Lt. Gov. Leo T. McCarthy, a Democrat seeking his third term, reported raising $247,928, leaving him with $284,265 on hand.

In the Democratic campaign for attorney general, San Francisco Dist. Atty. Arlo Smith reported raising $38,873. He and his family loaned his campaign another $354,000, leaving him $274,137 to spend as of March 17. Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Ira Reiner raised $70,350 to give him $426,000 in reserve.

The lone Republican seeking the attorney general nomination, former Rep. Dan Lungren, reported holding $122,923 in reserve after raising $106,860 so far this year.

In the battle for the office of state treasurer, Republican Tom Hayes, who was appointed to the post by Gov. George Deukmejian, raised $120,295 to give him a reserve of $322,086. His primary election opponent, former U.S. Treasurer Angela (Bay) Buchanan of Irvine raised $62,968. Buchanan reported having $113,447 in the bank.

Kathleen Brown, a former Los Angeles school board member who is the daughter of one former governor and the sister of another, is unopposed in the Democratic primary and had $690,484 in the bank as of March 17. She raised $200,318 in the first 11 weeks of the year.

Complete reports were not available Friday from candidates for the offices of secretary of state, controller and insurance commissioner.
