AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoElection Watch: Californians are casting early ballots ahead of Tuesday’s midterms, with the governor’s race and Proposition 40’s proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires drawing attention. The measure has split Democrats and prompted warnings it could drive wealthy residents out. A separate federal probe into alleged noncitizen voting is escalating: courts rejected a bid to set aside about 20,000 ballots, and an analysis found 42% of names on a federal list didn’t appear in current voter rolls. Fairfield Shooting: A pregnant woman was killed and six people wounded in a shooting at a Spirit Halloween store; the suspect remains at large. Sierra LaMar Case: A new murder trial for the man accused of abducting and killing the 15-year-old begins in Santa Clara County, after an appeals court overturned his 2017 conviction. LaMar disappeared near Morgan Hill in 2012, and her body has never been found. Higher Education: About one in three California community college students fails to return the following spring, with older students and Black students facing especially high dropout rates.
