In Case You Missed It...

| By CBPP

This week at CBPP, much of our analysis focused on state revenue ballot measures. But first, here’s a recap of our work on housing and climate.

On housing, Anna Bailey and Allie Gardner explained that among other efforts by the Trump Administration to threaten disabled people’s ability to live in integrated community-based settings, the Department of Justice will no longer enforce critical protections for the rights of people with disabilities.
On climate, Mikaela Tajo highlighted a report by the Government Accountability Office that confirms the Environmental Protection Agency’s illegal withholding of $1.5 billion in funding for environmental and climate justice activities.

And here are our analyses of the outcomes of state revenue ballot measures this week.

CBPP Vice President for State Fiscal Policy and Communications Meg Wiehe released a statement explaining that several states voted in favor of fairer tax codes protecting public services, while others enacted measures that exacerbate current fiscal pressures.
Joanna LeFebvre posted a thread to X and Bluesky outlining the outcomes of state ballot proposals that would cut or limit property tax revenue.
Wesley Tharpe posted a thread to X and Bluesky on the outcomes of measures in Washington, Colorado, and California to raise or retain taxes on the wealthy.
Clara Wilson posted a thread to X and Bluesky highlighting election results on state revenue ballot measures, in which some states chose to protect revenue that funds vital services.
