Gavin Newsom’s new tax will raise gas prices by 65¢ without voter approval.

Sharing is Caring!

California Governor Gavin Newsom has pushed through a controversial move to raise gas prices by as much as 65¢ per gallon. This drastic hike is part of a decision made by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to penalize high-carbon fuels, aiming to push people away from gas-powered vehicles as part of Newsom’s carbon-neutral goals.

What’s infuriating about this move is that taxpayers were never given a chance to vote on it. The CARB, an unelected body appointed by Newsom, voted 12-2 to implement these new measures—right when voters were distracted by the presidential election.

This decision, if implemented, will raise the cost of gasoline across California. The state’s push for carbon neutrality by 2045 is driving this change, but at what cost to taxpayers? Governor Newsom and CARB are determined to reduce emissions by penalizing drivers who rely on gasoline, further burdening those who can least afford it.
