The article by Tom Debley, a junior at Burlingame High School, suggests that AI guardrails are being built in the field of AI regulation. However, this article ignores evidence from the NextGen AI Summit, where students debated standards for AI accountability and the protection of young people. Despite being home to tech giants and other wealthy companies, San Jose, the city has one of the lowest business tax rates in California. San Jose businesses are assessed a very low flat fee rather than a percentage of revenue, making it difficult for cities to raise revenues even as fiscal obligations and costs continue to climb. Candidate Tom Steyer's misleading ad refers to the “Trump tax loophole” as a reference to President Trump, which allows commercial property owners to sell up to 49% of their properties and keep the original low tax valuation. The author suggests that candidates should focus on reducing costs for gasoline, electricity, water and housing costs rather than focusing on the issues of the new governor. The article also mentions that San Jose's low business tax rate could benefit all people.
