California's November 3 ballot includes 14 statewide measures, five of which concern taxes, including Proposition 40, which would tax the wealth of the state’s billionaires. Separately, the California Taxpayers Association counted 273 local measures that, if passed, would levy $3 billion annually in direct taxes on retail sales and property, and sanction $19.5 billion in bonds with interest costs exceeding $1 billion per year.
