How California Agencies Manipulate Voters on Local Tax Measures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
California’s Nov. 3 ballot contains 14 statewide ballot measures and five of them pertain to taxes, including the much-debated Proposition 40, which would tax the wealth of the state’s billionaires.

They’ve since walked that number back and admitted that 99.94% of
California's Poverty Crisis: 35% Living in Poverty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
California politicians — Gov. Gavin Newsom in particular — are fond of portraying their state as an economic powerhouse of global stature. “We dominate in every category,” Newsom bragged earlier this year, during a presentation to the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank. “We are the center of the universe (and) America’s coming attraction.” Newsom is weighing a run for the White House after his governorship ends in January.
