What's happening in DeSantistan 2.0

what does that chart look like with respect to dollars paid? does it matter?

 

do you support this proposed wealth tax?

California’s Wealth Tax Arrives (msn.com)

The bill would impose an annual excise tax of 1.5% on the worldwide net worth of every full- and part-year California resident that exceeds $1 billion, starting this tax year. Come Jan. 1, 2026, the state would tax wealth that exceeds $50 million at a rate of 1% each year, with an additional 0.5% tax on assets valued at more than $1 billion.

Part-time residents would be taxed on a pro rata share of their wealth based on the number of days they spend annually in California. The tax would also apply to nonresidents who have recently left the state. You can check out of the state, but you would still have to pay California’s wealth tax if you do.

The wealth tax would apply to nearly all assets, including shares in a partnership, private-equity interests, artwork and financial assets held offshore. California’s Franchise Tax Board would value assets that aren’t publicly traded. That means private businesses located outside the state could be examined by the board’s auditors and appraisers.

 

Florida school district removes dictionaries from libraries, citing law championed by DeSantis

I just can't...

 

Hold the presses - Eleventh Circuit surprises. My phone is blowing up. Details to follow.

 

Decision - wow. Just scanned

 

Equally shocked, including the language, on brief glance

 

Wow - I missed that. The "woke" in quotes is a shot.

 

restores my faith a little bit. needed that

 

disney has to be writing that into their briefs already...is that strong enough to open a case on New College and dismantle the damage done there? restore dei offices?

 

I had not even thought about the Disney angle but you are exactly right

 

imo, it is a real shot at the Anit-woke doctrine and everything it has yielded from disney, drag shows, library books....is an opinion/position from that court like that strong enough to influence trial judges at the lower level in similar cases, ie the orlando sheriff(?)

 

It is awesome to have you as a source on these issues. I don't know if the non-lawyers on the board appreciate how much of this stuff is not just something lawyers know, but highly specialized and complex.

The 11th Circuit reversed the trial court’s refusal to reinstate Warren, the State Attorney filed by DeSantis for political speech. The court remanded the case for a determination on whether Warren was fired for grounds wholly independent from political speech.

 

is there any way that he will not be reinstated? what is the time frame? odds that Orlando sheriff and maybe some school board members can ride the coattails?
