This is a billionaire-funded initiative designed specifically to undo the California Billionaire Tax, Prop. 40.
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: Missing context
The FPPC list shows Building a Better California, whose top donors it lists as Sergey Brin and L. John Doerr III, gave $58,350,000 of the $58,371,807.92 from the top contributors to the main committee supporting Proposition 41 on the FPPC list. The measure's official summary describes audits of programs funded by special taxes and a ban on new state taxes that exclude revenues from the spending limit. Section 5 of the text treats as conflicting any initiative on the same ballot that contains a state tax exempted or excluded from the Government Spending Limitation, and says it prevails if it receives more affirmative votes; the Attorney General's summary says Proposition 40 exempts its revenues from the spending limit. The guide does not say whether the two conflict, and the "designed specifically" part is a claim about intent that the official documents neither confirm nor refute.

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:
