Proposition 30 asks voters if California millionaires should foot the bill for electric cars and wildfire prevention initiatives. This measure would impose a new 1.75% tax on any individual’s income of more than $2 million per year to raise between $3 billion to $4.5 billion each year to fund a collection of greenhouse gas reducing initiatives. Most of the money would go toward new incentives for Californians to buy zero-emission vehicles and to build new electric charging or hydrogen fueling stations. (Lyft, which is required to move toward ZEVs, is a major funder). A quarter of the new money would go toward wildfire fighting and prevention efforts. Vote yes if you think millionaires should be taxed to help fund electric car rebates and more firefighters. Vote no if you don’t.
