Governor Newsom and Democrat leadership challenge California's Taxpayer Protection Act.

California's Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act, which requires voter approval for new taxes and fee increases, faces a legal challenge from Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrat leadership, aiming to remove it from the November ballot. The act, sponsored by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and other organizations, aims to close loopholes in Proposition 13 and provide additional taxpayer safeguards, including empowering voters to approve or reject new state and local taxes. The legal battle is expected to conclude by the end of June.
