While the measure would seem like a slam dunk for Democrats in one of the most liberal states in the country, it has a very notable opponent — Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. The governor, bucking his party, has accused the measure of being placed on the ballot only to enrich multibillion-dollar rideshare company Lyft, which has heavily funded support for the measure.
Newsom has backed a plan to ban the in-state sale of all gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035 to spur the use of electric vehicles and cut down on environment-harming emissions. Backers of Proposition 30 contend that the measure would help speed up the proliferation of electric vehicles. Lyft, though, said it backs the initiative because it supports helping the climate rather than doing so merely out of blind self-interest.
