Faulconer's California tax cut proposal + Ads rolling in AG race + Appeal to open the Capitol

Faulconer's California tax cut proposal + Ads rolling in AG race + Appeal to open the Capitol Sacramento Bee 3 hrs ago Andrew Sheeler, The Sacramento Bee May 13—Good morning and welcome to the A.M. Alert! FAULCONER UNVEILS TAX CUT PROPOSAL Former San Diego mayor and Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Faulconer on Wednesday unveiled his proposal for what he's labeled, "The California Comeback Tax Cut Plan." It's meant to be a contrast to the $600 checks Gov. Gavin Newsom this week announced he wants to send to most California households. "The hard-working men and women who are being priced out of our state need more than a one-time rebate, they need permanent financial relief that lasts. California's serious problems require serious leadership, and our campaign is focused on real solutions to make our state affordable again," Faulconer said in a statement. "Under my plan 99% of taxpaying households will qualify for relief, many middle-class families will see their state income taxes reduced to zero, and we will make it rational to retire here. This is not a tax cut for the Wall Street crowd, it's a tax cut for the people who make our state work and deserve change in this election."
