AI Summary

California voters rejected Proposition 40, a one‑time tax targeting billionaires, on Monday. The measure failed after a costly campaign that saw labor unions oppose some of the tech sector’s wealthiest individuals. Governor Gavin Newsom also opposed the proposal. Nic Carter, a resident far from Silicon Valley, expressed strong opposition to the tax. The ballot measure’s defeat ended the state’s attempt to impose the billionaire levy.
