California’s latest gas-tax hike lands as voters this week rejected a range of local tax-hike measures statewide, including, apparently, in LA County, San Diego, San Francisco and Riverside.
State residents aresick of paying ever-higher pricesfor shoddy government services, payouts to Dem-adjacent unions and nonprofit groups and the climate fever dreams of the left.
Indeed: A recent poll by The California Post found the cost of living is the No. 1 issue of concern for state residents.
Yet here we are, absorbingyet another hike in the gas tax— this one rolled out on autopilot thanks to Dem policy.
Gov. Gavin Newsom sent noticethis week that California’s gas tax will climb by another 2 cents per gallon on July 1.
This, at a time when gas prices in California routinely top $6 per gallon — generally $2 more than in other states.
Tim Stewart, president of the US Oil & Gas Association, also warns that the state’s “cap and invest” scheme will drive gas-tax costs higher this year — and perhaps add a dollar a gallon, in new taxes alone, by 2030.
Californians are fed up, tapped out, and sick of being put last by establishment politicians statewide.
They want common sense in government, as this week’s voting proves.
