For a while during the past several months, Prop 40 has been leading, not by a huge margin, but has been consistently leading in the polls.
Mike BoninHOST
Over the past couple of weeks, there have been a lot of very strong attacks and very strong allegations made against Dave Regan, president, and against the union in particular.
Mike BoninHOST
I noticed this morning in one of the stories I was reading, we're recording on the 21st, that the lead is starting to slip.

Mina KimHOST
Right.
Mina KimHOST
Marisa, you actually sat down and spoke with an author of the bill, Dave Reagan, right? Head of SEIU UHW.
Mina KimHOST
What did he tell you about why SEIU went for the overall wealth tax, and what do we need to understand about the way many billionaires can avoid paying the taxes the rest of us pay?
Marisa LagosCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, I mean, this has been really fascinating to dig into.
Marisa LagosCORRESPONDENT
And, you know, I, I wanna say at the outset, there's very differing sort of views among e- economists about, you know, uh, this tax and, and basically everything in econ- [laughs] in economics.
Marisa LagosCORRESPONDENT
So, um, but what Dave Reagan is, is saying, Reagan, excuse me, is that the wealth of billionaires has grown so quickly over, you know, really even just the past 10 years.
Marisa LagosCORRESPONDENT
Um, they actually put out something recently showing that since this, you know, campaign started or in the last few months, these billionaires' wealth has grown far more than the taxes they would need to pay under this measure.
Marisa LagosCORRESPONDENT
Um, and what Reagan says, and, and the economist at UC Berkeley who helped him craft this measure, is that wealthy people, and billionaires especially, 'cause I do think we need to make a difference between being a millionaire and a billionaire.
Nicholas LemannGUEST
A lot of the cuts were to Medicaid.
Nicholas LemannGUEST
There's one union leader in California, a guy named Dave Regan, who had the idea he...
Nicholas LemannGUEST
His union would be devastated by these Medicaid cuts.
Nicholas LemannGUEST
Trump signs this bill.
Nicholas LemannGUEST
Dave Regan says, "Aha, I know what to do.
Nicholas LemannGUEST
We'll have an initiative to have a wealth tax to plug the hole left by Medicaid cuts." He calls Emmanuel Saez at Berkeley and says, you know, "Activate your team," and they put together, um, a proposition to tax billionaires only.
Nicholas LemannGUEST
This tax would fall on as few as two hundred people in California and is supposed to produce something like a hundred billion dollars in revenues, and it would go overwhelmingly to one group of hospitals where Regan's union has... is the organizing union to prevent them from suffering from the effects of Medicaid cuts.

Chapter fourteen, The Mystery of Dave Regan.
David WalesNARRATOR
And then there was Dave Regan, said the traveler.
David WalesNARRATOR
Dave used to die oftener than any other bushman I knew.
David WalesNARRATOR
He was always being reported dead and turning up again.
David WalesNARRATOR
He said he knew Dave better than that.
David WalesNARRATOR
One or two fellas did turn up afterwards that had seen Dave about the time that I did, and then the chaps said they were sure that Dave was dead.
David WalesNARRATOR
But one fine day, as a lot of us chaps were playing pitch and toss at the shanty, one of the fellas yelled out, "By gee, here comes Dave Regan." And I looked up and saw Dave himself sidling out of a cloud of dust on a long, lanky horse.
