As the push for a new billionaire tax takes center stage in the Golden State, Gov. Gavin Newsom is not relenting in his criticism of the proposed ballot initiative. In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek last Thursday, Newsom said the tax could end up hurting the state in the long term. “The fact is it actually will reduce investments in education,” he said. “It will reduce investments in teachers and librarians, childcare. It will reduce investments in firefighting and police.
Main Idea: Gov. Gavin Newsom is again opposing California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, saying it could hurt long-term investment and state revenue.
Key Points:
A billionaire tax fight could scare away wealthy residents and some investment, which may reduce jobs, services, and state revenue for workers and households.
If the tax passes, California could raise money for health care and help offset cuts that may affect patients and public services.
