California Democrats voted down a Republican proposal to end the state’s tax on tips, raising questions about Vice President Kamala Harris’s commitment to the policy. Republican State Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh expressed disappointment over the legislature’s refusal to debate the proposal aimed at relieving service workers’ tax burden.
The proposal was “summarily killed” by Democrats without discussion, highlighting a significant party line divide among California lawmakers. 67% of Americans believe tips should not be taxed, according to 68% of Republicans and 65% of Democrats.
