SAN FRANCISCO-California’s 21 historic but badly deteriorating mission buildings may soon get the help they need, thanks to a bill introduced this week by State Sen. Jackie Speier, (D-SF).

Speier’s bill SB 92 creates a check-off on income tax forms, allowing people to donate money to the California Missions Foundation. The Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the historical legacy of the missions for future generations.
