California considers wealth tax for residents who leave blue state
Journalist Adam Lashinsky and Kaltbaum Capital Management's Gary Kaltbaum on whether this 'crazy' wealth tax idea will come to fruition.
Police in California are investigating after a city official woke up to find the outside of her home covered in feces left there by an unknown individual.
The Laguna Beach Police Department said in a press release that they received a call around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday from the home of City Manager Shohreh Dupuis and found "feces or sewage smeared around the property."
Police believe the act of vandalism in the affluent coastal town happened overnight and posted photos from the scene showing presumably human excrement on the house, in the front yard, on the mailbox, in planters, on the stairs and on the walkway adjacent to the home.
"This is a shocking personal attack on our city manager at her residence," Laguna Beach Mayor Bob Whalen said. "It is criminal conduct that will be investigated immediately and thoroughly."

"I am saddened by this hateful act and can not imagine why anyone in our community would want to personally hurt me or my family," Dupuis said to Fox News Digital in a statement.
The press release stated that the home is considered city property since the city owns half of the home, while Dupuis owns the other half which is part of her employment contract.
"Her job is hard enough without the added stress and anxiety that this type of attack creates," Whalen added. " She doesn’t deserve this disrespect, and I fully expect our community to rally around her."
