San Francisco Voters Reject the Overpaid CEO Tax

Proposition D, a labor-backed rise in San Francisco's tax on companies whose top executives earn 100 times their workers, projected at about $300 million a year, failed 52.8% to 47.2%; its business-backed rival, Measure C, lost 66% to 34%.

Proposition D, the Overpaid CEO Act, would have changed the basis of the city's Top Executive Pay Tax from the median pay of a business's San Francisco employees to all of its employees, raising a projected $300 million or so a year^[1]
Certified results: Measure D No 132,959 (52.81%), Yes 118,802 (47.19%); Measure C No 162,208 (65.98%), Yes 83,625 (34.02%)^[2]
Measure C was written to defeat D: it would have raised the small-business exemption from $5 million to $7.5 million in gross receipts and raised the scheduled 2027 executive pay tax rate but frozen later increases; because they conflicted, only the one with more votes would have taken effect had both passed^[1][4]
Labor unions and progressive groups backed D, with Supervisor Connie Chan at its watch party; Mayor Daniel Lurie opposed both measures^[1]
On the same ballot voters approved Measure A, a $535 million earthquake safety and emergency response bond (80.71% yes), and Measure B, two-term limits for the mayor and supervisors (53.04% yes)^[2][4]
With both tax measures defeated, NBC Bay Area reported that city officials had to look elsewhere to close a budget shortfall of more than $600 million^[4]
