In Calif, no difference between long term and short term cap gains, all the same, max rate about 9 percent. I am not up to speed on all the new rates.
But lots of tax was from options, now not a large item, and then, of course, the billions spent on electric contracts about a year ago. Done by dept of water, I think, who had never done that before. A group had been formed years ago, but went out of business, leaving it to Gov Davis. We had rolling black outs for a few months. Enron may have been part of it. Tension was high and no, not in the electric grid.

The Energy Crisis, Spike the Tattooed Dude,
and the Case for the Resignation of Bill Lockyer

SACRAMENTO – Bill Lockyer, California’s Attorney General, is an authoritarian thug who should resign. That’s the view of Tom Palmer, a senior fellow of the Cato Institute, based on a statement Lockyer made in a press conference about Kenneth Lay, chairman of Enron Corporation.

“I would love to personally escort Lay to an 8-by-10 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who says ‘Hi, my name is Spike, honey,’” Lockyer said.

California does not give capital gains preferential treatment. Capital gains are treated like ordinary income and taxed accordingly.
