Just in time for the Independence Day holiday in California : an increase in the state’s already sky-high gas tax.
The 51-cent tax jumped 3 cents on Friday, just adding to the misery for motorists who are paying upward of $7 a gallon, the highest in the nation, in the Golden State. The Democratic supermajority in the legislature did not quash a regular annual tax increase despite intense lobbying by Republicans.
The article goes on to state the following:
Friday’s AAA gas tax index lists California’s average price at $6.27 a gallon and a nationwide average of $4.84. California’s gas is more expensive in the summer when it utilizes a “summer blend” to cut down on emissions when the automobile-loving state is at its most active.
😩MORE PAIN AT THE PUMP😫
California’s gas tax just went up another 3 cents!!!! Ironically, it’s happening on the same day millions of SoCal residents are traveling for the #4thOfJuly weekend. Is the tax stopping you from going somewhere? @fox5sandiego pic.twitter.com/QCPgAn3bXq

Gov. Gavin Newsom and top lawmakers struck a deal to give residents “inflation relief” rebate checks. However, the funds are not expected to arrive until next year.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who is running for Congress, slammed Newsom and lawmakers for focusing on passing an “inflation relief” package, which he says will just contribute to the rising inflation.
You know those Newsom “rebate” checks that are supposed to help with gas prices? Turns out you may not get yours until next January.

Another stupid democrat governor. Apparently aunt nancy trained him well.🤮🤮🤮 Do you people really keep voting people like this in or is there you know the thing that happened in 20 going on there.
You people in California have to pay for all those illegals and their health care well here you go now you’ll pay for it and that’s just the beginning trust me. STOP VOTING DEMOCRATS
They are all such idiots. I have been trying to vote them out for years but there are too many gullible, liberals and the hollyweird people voting them back in. I hate what these people have done to my CA
I would do whatever it takes to exit that state!!! No way would I live in that s**thole!!
And the worst governor award goes to…
Maybe Biden should tell Newsom to knock it off. People don’t need more gas taxes. He won’t and California’s will revolt in November when Cailfirnia hits $10/gallon.
Why would anyone willingly live in Cali-hell, is a real head scratcher.
