The governor reiterated his opposition to the progressive tax proposal and accused the conservative publication's editorial board of seeking to undermine California.
"Gov. Gavin Newsom doesn’t want a wealth tax — and he’s furious anyone’s suggesting otherwise.
The Democratic governor repeatedly lashed out at the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board on Wednesday for implying he might support the progressive proposal, despite Newsom and his administration having emphatically rejected the idea for years. Newsom reiterated that stance this week, before the editorial published, and said Wednesday he would look to a mix of cuts and reserves to close a $38 billion deficit."
