LOS ANGELES — On its face, Proposition 30 is simple enough: Raise taxes on the richest Californians. Pull in $30 billion to $90 billion over the next 20 years. Use 80% of the money to subsidize electric vehicles and charging stations, and 20% for wildfire suppression and prevention.
The fight for votes has prompted plenty of sloganeering and a gusher of spending.
Supporters say Proposition 30 is essential to address climate change. Opponents say it's not.
