The California Supreme Court has made a significant decision to side with Governor Gavin Newsom by removing a measure from the November ballot that aimed to make it more challenging to raise taxes. The court stated that the proposed change would have disrupted the fundamental workings of the government.
The measure in question would have mandated that voters approve any tax increase passed by the state Legislature. Additionally, it would have required all local tax increases to be approved by a two-thirds majority of voters instead of a simple majority vote.
