California Dems Endorse Billionaire Tax | San Diego News

California Democrats just wrapped up a high-stakes three-day meeting in San Diego, rallying behind key endorsements — including the controversial “Billionaire Tax” (Prop 40) — while secretly voting no on it themselves. Governor Newsom and Xavier Becerra argue state-level billionaire taxes are unfair and ineffective, since wealth can simply be relocated. Meanwhile, the party fiercely opposes Prop 39’s voter ID rules, calling them voter suppression tactics, and also blocks Prop 44, which could cripple community health clinics with steep penalties for spending less than 90% on patient care — potentially costing $1.7 billion upfront.
