Prop. 40's failure shows money dominating California politics
Original: Opinion | Prop. 40's failure points to the tax California already pays for its wealth: Politics overrun by money

The piece frames campaign spending as a 'tax' that Californians pay for their wealth, suggesting well-funded interests increasingly overrun policy debates at the ballot box.
Why now: The recent failure of Proposition 40 has sparked debate about the influence of money in California politics.
