California voters will decide 14 ballot measures, billionaire tax included. There could’ve been more

California voters will decide on 14 ballot measures in November, including a 5% wealth tax on billionaires (Proposition 40) and countermeasures (Props 41 and 42) backed by billionaire Sergey Brin. Legislative changes in 2016 allowed sponsors to remove measures before deadlines, leading to compromises that reduced the total from 20 to 14, though conflicts like the wealth tax remain unresolved.
