Billionaire Sergey Brin is building political infrastructure that will last beyond his $102 million fight against Prop 40
Source Scout · Fortune reports: Google cofounder Sergey Brin spent much of his career on the sidelines of electoral politics. But a proposed California wealth tax has turned the billionaire into one of the state’s most powerful political financiers, prompting him to build an organization that can continue shaping state policy long after voters decide on the measure that initially mobilized him. Brin has contributed $102 million to Building a Better California, a political organization that has become the central vehicle for Silicon Valley billionaires seeking to influence California’s political direction.
