Gavin Newsom Objects—to Us – WSJ

These columns caught Gavin Newsom’s attention this week, we’re delighted to say. The California Governor is upset that we reported on the wealth-tax proposal in the state Assembly because Mr. Newsom says he doesn’t support such a tax.

Mr. Newsom on Wednesday presented his budget for the coming year, including ideas to close a $68 billion shortfall. He then lashed out at us in Trumpian fashion. He called us “ideological warriors,” “a broken-clock” and “shameful” for criticizing a wealth-tax bill that was getting an Assembly hearing that day.
