341: Selling the Monet
California Tax Law, Jerry Brown and Oakland Blight
New taxation rules under California Governor Jerry Brown prevent companies from carrying forward prior losses to offset current profits, a move criticized for driving business out of the state. In Oakland, "anti-blight" laws are reportedly being used to penalize investors who purchase foreclosed properties. These policies are characterized as government money grabs that discourage urban revitalization.
