“During a call last month, he assured a major Democratic donor the levy would be successfully negotiated away before a June 25 deadline.”

1. Whose side is he on?

Just one reason why he’s a hard NO from me for president.

2. Our side. Newsom promotes a national tax, otherwise billionaires just move out of state.

He's right

[Auggie]

3. Still a hard "no?"

7. Does it address how the state is planning on determining the net worth of it's residents to see who is eligible

for the tax and then how much they would owe?
