Should billionaires pay more? California unions want voters to decide
Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West and St. John’s Community Health in Los Angeles want voters statewide to approve a “billionaires tax” to help prop up the state’s health care and education systems.
The proposed ballot initiative would levy a one-time, 5% tax on the approximately 200 billionaires in the state, generating roughly $100 billion in revenue, according to proponents.
Going to the ballot is a common move for advocacy groups frustrated with Sacramento politics, which, while dominated by Democrats, can still be factious. Dave Regan, president of SEIU-UHW, said at a news conference the ballot initiative is the “only solution anyone can see.”
“We are facing literally a collapse of our health care system here in California and elsewhere,” Regan said. “This will help us keep health care facilities open. It will stabilize premiums and coverage for all Californians, protect health care jobs, and also improve public education.”
The proposed initiative would tax the 2025 net worth of billionaires residing in California, allowing them to pay off the obligation over five years. The revenue would go into a special fund with 90% reserved for health care spending and 10% reserved for K-12 education spending.

NJ Election Day bomb threats shut down polling sites in 7 key counties — with gov’s race in dead heat
Nov 4 2025
Several New Jersey polling sites have been closed and the voting locations moved on Election Day following bomb threats in at least seven counties — including heavily Republican areas, officials said.
Law enforcement agencies were tipped off about threats made to polling locations across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Passaic counties Tuesday morning, according to the state Office of the Attorney General.
“Law enforcement officers have responded at each affected polling place, and they have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations and ensure the safety of every voter,” the AG’s Office said in a statement.
“Some of these polling locations have already reopened to the public. At others, voters will be directed to a nearby polling location to cast their ballot,” the office added.
Officials noted that the threats made against the polling site were not credible.
The bomb threats come in the middle of a knife-edge governor’s race, with US Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) in a dead heat with Republican businessman and former state legislator Jack Ciattarelli.

Voting Glitches Hit Cumberland County, NJ: Machines Down at Multiple Polls on Election Day
Reports of voting machine failures at several polling sites in Cumberland County are causing delays and frustration for voters on a busy Election Day. The issues surfaced around midday in this rural South Jersey county, where polls opened at 6 a.m. and are set to close at 8 p.m. Officials say the problems are being addressed with paper ballots as backups, but some voters have reportedly left without casting their votes amid long lines.
The malfunctions were first flagged by conservative activist Scott Presler on X (formerly Twitter), who noted they hit three Republican-leaning districts where GOP turnout is already double 2024 levels.
