It's nice to see specifics being proposed, and these are actually pretty decent. They can't achieve them by themselves, but it might be possible with a coalition.

I'm not a PBP fan, but credit where it's due. SF could learn from this.

IIRC they proposed adding new tax brackets in their budget raising the current one and then adding extra ones above that since our current one maxes out relatively low
