NO to billionaires "The billionaire co-founder of the California Institute for Immunology & Immunotherapy, Gary K. Michelson, is 1 of the 2 ultrawealthy chief backers of Proposition 38." That's a NO from this cancer survivor who went thru immunotherapy #cancersky calmatters.org/politics/ele...

Is this proposition a $4 billion giveaway to a billionaire’s LA research center?
Proposition 38 will award $4 billion to one unnamed research center. Under the very specific criteria, only one center seemingly qualifies.
