Nothing that happens on the Left Coast ever surprises me.
This is similar to California trying to tax commercial
sattelites that flew over California air space and the
electric company that wanted to charge homeowners for
installing solar panels.
My favorite was when they got slapped down for trying to tax retirees
who had left California "for money they had earned in California".
Supremes guffawed.

But...hadn't they already been taxed on that money while they actually lived
there? Insane!

Not really...the issue was over IRA or 401K money that was not taxed
at time earned, but is taxed at withdrawal (like in a no-state-tax
state like Nevada !!) .... so to CA and the rest, tough cookies
