One would therefore assume that any proposed law that furthers this objective would gain near-unanimous support from the governor and key advocacy groups, but this isn’t the case with regard to Proposition 30. This ballot measure wants the rich — specifically those earning at least $2 million annually — to incur an additional 1.75% tax that will go toward helping people in poorer communities access electric vehicles. Some of that money would also be directed toward combating wildfires, an…
