On Talk of the Bay at 5PM, March 2, 2026, host Meilin Obinata dives into the proposed California Billionaire Tax Act with Seema Kanani from the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers union and Kris Cuaresma-Primm who are supporting this voter initiative aimed at helping make up shortfalls caused by deep cuts to federal programs. 

 

Obinata also welcomes activist Langdon Sepulveda from Stop Gilroy Data Center Now and Francisco Leal from NIMBY Imperial. They are both resisting the development of data centers dependent upon lithium ion battery storage. Whether billionaires or data centers, what does it look like when people rise up? That’s today at 5PM, on KSQD’s Talk of the Bay.
