2018 CA Governor's race: on Budget & Economy


Gavin Newsom: Opportunity zones worthy of bipartisan support

Newsom said the Opportunity Zones program will not only help boost California's already enormous economy but would also help provide funds to deal with state's housing crisis and would promote energy investment to help the state reach its climate change goals. The Opportunity Zones program is part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and looks to bring down the capital gains taxes for investors in real estate and business in low income neighborhoods. The program would permit investors to pay no capital gains taxes--which can run as high as 20 percent--after holding on to an investment for 10 years.

Delaine Eastin: Build an economy that works for everyone

California needs to be a place where you can buy a home, send your kids to college, and live a comfortable retirement. This means we need long range plans to fix our aging infrastructure; build housing that people can afford, and provide jobs that pay a living wage. Californians also need paid leave and affordable, high quality childcare, like the rest of the industrialized world.
