Independent estimates suggest eliminating state income tax on the first $150,000 of income and applying an 8% rate above that threshold would reduce revenues by approximately $40 billion annually.
Every vetted record has a fingerprint that two keys signed and a timestamp authority stamped. The signed record, the keys and the receipts are in a public log, so you can check the signed copy there without relying on this site, and then check that this page shows that copy.

Judgments behind this record
Verdict on the claim
Call: Can’t verify
The page says "independent estimates" but does not name the estimator or link to one. A search for an independent estimate of this plan's revenue cost, from the Legislative Analyst's Office or another nonpartisan source, found none, so the $40 billion figure could not be confirmed or contradicted. The page's own numbers are consistent with each other: it puts $40 billion at roughly 17.6 percent of the more than $226 billion in General Fund revenue it projects, and attributes about $20.9 billion of it to the first $150,000 exemption.

Copy the public log and run its script. It reads only the public log: the signed copy of this record, the judgments behind it, the keys and the receipts. It recomputes each fingerprint and checks the proof, both signatures and the timestamps. It checks the signed copy in the log, not the text on this page:
git clone https://github.com/Macpire/ideology-integrity-log
cd ideology-integrity-log
npx tsx integrity/verify-record.ts --log ca-2026 ca-hilton-claim-1 --repo .To check that the text this site serves is that signed copy, add the site's address. Only this check ties the log to what you read here:
