AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 minutes ago

Billionaire Tax Clash: Mark Cuban and Rep. Ro Khanna sparred publicly over California’s proposed 5% billionaire wealth tax, with Cuban warning it could push founders out of the state and calling it “ideology” without a strategy. Utility Costs & Wildfire Risk: A new estimate says PG&E bills could rise another $840 a year by 2030, even as PG&E touts wildfire mitigation like burying 25 miles of I-5 power lines to cut ignition risk by 98%. Robotaxi Expansion: Waymo won CPUC approval to expand robotaxi service across the Bay Area and Los Angeles, with new markets in Sacramento and San Diego. Housing & Local Pressure: Laguna Beach delayed a decision on joining the Orange County Power Authority, while California’s broader housing shortfall and affordability squeeze kept showing up in coverage. Labor & Gig Work: California gig workers moved closer to certifying a union for Uber and Lyft drivers, a major test for contract talks. Tech Policy: San Mateo County advanced a plan to regulate commercial humanoid robots, aiming for a permitting framework before wider rollout.
