Thank you for joining, @Lanier4SF !
I was glad to be on State of the Bay arguing for a federal wealth tax on billionaires instead of a state tax. Billionaires will leave CA, reducing on-going CA income tax rev. And we depend on the top 1% of earners for 30-50% of our tax revenue. How do we know they will leave? High income earners have already proven they are willing to leave:

If California’s “billionaire tax” passes, it will amount to the first time that a government in the U.S. has successfully taxed the assets, rather than the income, of extremely rich people as a class. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Looking forward to having you on State of the Bay tonight at 6pm to talk about Prop 40, @saikatc !
kalw.org/show/state-bay/2026…
The whole world is watching to see if California can pass Prop 40 and tax the wealth of billionaires. This weekend in SF, the Curran Theatre was packed for a rally with @BernieSanders and @RoKhanna. If California can go up against the billionaires and win, the nation and world will follow. Vote YES on Prop 40 and NO on Prop 41 and Prop 42!
What are your thoughts on Prop 40, the "billionaire tax"?

Alicia John-Baptiste, San Francisco's Chief of Infrastructure, Climate and Mobility on Prop H.
Also on the panel: @MHurabiell of @ConnectedSF, Former @SFBART director Debora Allen, and Sebastien Petty of @SPUR_Urbanist
We hosted a debate on Flock cameras. You can listen to the pros and cons here: kalw.org/show/state-bay/2026…
Mayor Daniel Lurie tightens police surveillance rules in San Francisco — but avoids targeting Flock Safety. It’s a contrast to other blue cities that have paused or canceled contracts with the tech company

Well that was fun! Here's a link to the KALW moderated forum tonight with @MHurabiell and I representing the No side of the Bay Area transit tax measures on the November ballot, Measures H and RTM.
My favorite line: "The accountability measures of SB63, its like they were written by a fantasy fiction novelist like JRR Tolkien. This is Lord of the Rings level stuff. It really doesn't say what everyone is saying it says."

Thanks for using my question!
I did hear @debora_allen1 calling out the "transit industrial complex" - about the only thing I agree on this w/ her about. @SFBART made cuts and also invested in the faregates Director Allen fought so nobly for.
Also this is my photo:
Live in 30 minutes on 91.7 and kalw.org. Unsure how to vote on the 2 transportation propositions, H and RTM? Tune in to our debate and decide for yourself.
