Heath Flora, the top Republican in the California Assembly, is facing two state ethics investigations and could be on the brink of a leadership fight after he infuriated his party by siding with Democrats to allow tax hikes across the state, The Post has learned. Several Capitol insiders told The Post that Flora is facing blowback after he and fellow Republican Assemblymember Juan Alanis voted for Senate Bill 762 last month, which will allow 13 cities and counties to ask voters to exceed California’s longstanding 2% local sales tax cap. “We’re disappointed by our state assemblyman and hearing from constituents,” Stanislaus County Republican Party Chairman Joel Campos told The Post, referring to Flora.
