California billionaire tax efforts blocked by parent union

California’s largest SEIU affiliate has declined to endorse Proposition 40, a proposed one-time billionaire tax, citing concerns about budget stability and benefits for healthcare. The union, representing 750,000 members, emphasizes that 90% of the revenue would fund healthcare programs, but other unions oppose the measure, fearing it could lead to wealthy Californians relocating and destabilize public services. The tax aims to address a significant funding gap in safety-net programs and has generated internal and political debate over its long-term effectiveness and economic impact.
