California’s proposed one-time billionaire wealth tax was trailing in early election returns Wednesday morning, while Prop 42, which would prevent any future similar measures from getting on the ballot, is ahead by over eight points.

Not only did the billionaire tax fail in California, but prop 42, to amend the California constitution to forbid the introduction of taxes on personal property (investment accounts, art) for the wealthy in the future, backed by greaseball Gavin Newsom, seems to have passed.

    I don’t know what you’re saying.

    I wasn’t being clear, sorry. It says pro 40 failed but it’s only at 62% reported with 6+ million ballots to count still. Isn’t it too close to call it a fail?

    Also your link doesn’t work.

      Yeah the link definitely works for me. The URL has so much punctuation in it that I had to add it to the comment as a link and just pasted the URL text as the title and the link. Just tried it now and it works fine.

        Link works.

        Their status says it’s too close to call. Maybe end of next week we will see where it’s at. So far it’s mostly smaller towns/counties votes have been completely counted for.
