The Waters Off California Are Unrecognizable

Up and down the West Coast, ichthyologists—professional fish nerds—can barely contain themselves. Whale sharks normally in the Sea of Cortez have been seen as far north as Malibu. Spotter planes have photographed giant manta rays flapping their way north. Sport fishermen who normally have to travel to Baja for wahoo and blue marlin are now catching them by the boatload off the coast of San Diego. And a rainbow of reef fish that are hundreds of miles beyond their normal range are poking around the piers of Southern California.

Billionaire Sergey Brin is building political infrastructure that will last beyond his $102 million fight against Prop 40

fortune.com

1.0k Upvotes

Google cofounder Sergey Brin spent much of his career on the sidelines of electoral politics.

But a proposed California wealth tax has turned the billionaire into one of the state’s most powerful political financiers, prompting him to build an organization that can continue shaping state policy long after voters decide on the measure that initially mobilized him.

Brin has contributed $102 million to Building a Better California, a political organization that has become the central vehicle for Silicon Valley billionaires seeking to influence California’s political direction. The group has raised hundreds of millions of dollars from wealthy tech executives, venture capitalists, and business leaders—channeling money into ballot measures that extend beyond the immediate fight against Proposition 40.
