Steve Hilton argues that California’s high costs and weak public services stem from one-party rule and regulations shaped by political interests, despite the state’s economic and natural advantages. The Republican candidate says he would cut state spending and regulations, exempt workers’ first $150,000 of income from state taxes and bring gasoline prices down. Spencer Pratt, who ran for Los Angeles mayor after losing his home in the Palisades fire, backs Hilton’s appeal to practical concerns while alleging failures in the city’s ballot and fire-response systems.
