SACRAMENTO \u2013\u00a0Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones<\/a>\u00a0(R-San Diego) issued the following response after Governor Newsom announced a new proposal that will inevitably increase gas prices for consumers, thus it is being dubbed \u201cGavin\u2019s Gas Tax:\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the saying goes, \u2018If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.\u2019 As Governor Newsom attempts to hide his efforts behind clever words, Californians will see what this for what it really is\u2014a gas tax increase amid record-high inflation and an economic downturn.<\/p>\n

“Historical evidence shows that \u2018Gavin\u2019s Gas Tax\u2019 will be directly passed onto consumers and increase gas prices. If the governor is looking to lower gas prices, I encourage him to consider my measures that would suspend the gas tax and immediately lower gas prices by $1 per gallon.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the governor pushes to increase gas taxes, Leader Jones has\u00a0two measures<\/a>\u00a0that would suspend California\u2019s gas taxes and fees, and immediately reduce gas prices by $1 per gallon.\u00a0SB 32<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0SBX1-1<\/a>\u00a0are both in the Senate Rules Committee awaiting assignment to a policy committee for a hearing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
