Tax the Ultra-Rich Now plans bus tour for Props 40 and 3, Oct. 3 to 11

What the reporting says

In an announcement printed by the Contra Costa Herald, the campaign group Tax the Ultra-Rich Now says it will run a statewide bus tour from October 3 to October 11 in support of Proposition 40 and Proposition 3. The campaign says the tour begins with a San Francisco rally hosted by Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressman Ro Khanna on October 3.

• The Contra Costa Herald printed a campaign announcement from Tax the Ultra-Rich Now, known as TURN, describing a week-long statewide bus tour in support of Proposition 40 and Proposition 3. The campaign says the tour will host events with advocates, experts and policymakers across California from October 3 to October 11.
• The announcement says Proposition 3 would keep about $15 billion a year flowing to schools and health care by extending an existing tax on high incomes again. It also cites a poll released by Tax the Greedy Billionaires, in which 79 percent of Americans said billionaires have more power than they should in a democracy.
• Igor Volsky, TURN's Campaign Manager, said the group believes working families, not a handful of billionaires, should determine the future, and that the tour takes its case directly to the people most affected. The announcement describes the tour as building on a six-figure TURN campaign about the wealth and power of California's billionaires.
