Jim Brulte: Finally, something Gavin Newsom and I agree on

  • Earlier this month, Jim Brulte wrote that he and Gov. Gavin Newsom agree the 5% wealth tax is unbelievably bad policy and risks revenue loss, ultimately burdening middle-class taxpayers.
  • On January 7, Newsom's press office described the Minneapolis killing as `state-sponsored terrorism`, while video and eyewitness accounts show ICE agent Jonathan Ross obstructed emergency medical services, but Gov. Gavin Newsom softened that description on his podcast Thursday.
  • Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has cooperated with over 10,000 deportations and vetoed bills to limit transfers to ICE, as a poll earlier this week showed 46% support abolishing ICE.
  • The video clip, promoted by the Daily Wire, sparked broad online backlash as critics say Gov. Gavin Newsom risks his 2028 presidential run by rejecting calls to abolish ICE, alienating the Democratic base.
  • Recent departures by tech founders have already reshaped California's tax base, with Sergey Brin, Google co-founder, terminating 15 LLCs and at least 10 billionaires leaving last year, risking $9.5 million in lost revenue before California's top income tax rate hit 13.3%.
