Labor boss Dave Regan tried unsuccessfully to tax billionaires this election season, earning a humiliating, if unofficial, title: California’s biggest election loser. Regan, who serves as president of SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, led an unprecedented effort this year to levy a one-time tax on the state’s billionaires, kicking off a nearly $400 million fight on three connected state ballot measures. By the end of Tuesday, it was clear the most controversial of the measures, Proposition 40, would go down in flames with almost 56% of voters opposed to the wealth tax.
