A law firm's report has found that Greg Regan, a proponent of California's wealth tax, made threats and engaged in past physical assault against labor officials. The report, which was initially kept private, was revealed in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
The investigation found that Regan suggested to one labor leader he would seek a federal Department of Labor investigation if the SEIU State Council, an umbrella group of which Regan's union is a member, did not endorse the wealth tax. The state council ultimately took a neutral position on the ballot measure.
Additionally, the report stated that Regan told another SEIU official he was "coming for" her if an endorsement was not forthcoming. The report concluded that this official had reason to be concerned about the statement, as Regan had physically assaulted another labor official years prior. The assertion of past assault was deemed "materially accurate" based on multiple interviews.
