Democrats\u2019 plan risks fuel shortages & price spikes, but won\u2019t reduce costs for drivers.<\/em><\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO – Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher (Yuba City) condemned Democrats\u2019 rushed passage of Gavin\u2019s Gas Tax, which empowers unelected bureaucrats to impose new costs and regulations that could lead to gas shortages, rationing and price spikes. The bill, which passed less than a week after being introduced, will create a new government agency to arbitrarily decide how much profit businesses are allowed to make, disrupting California\u2019s energy market and threatening the reliability of the state\u2019s fuel supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats have spent years driving up the cost of gas with a steady stream of taxes, fees and regulations. This bill is no different<\/em>,\u201d\u00a0said Gallagher<\/strong>. \u201cWhen we see gas lines and soaring prices, Democrats will have only themselves to blame, and I\u2019m confident that Californians will hold them accountable. If Democrats were serious about lowering gas prices, they would back our efforts to give drivers a gas tax holiday<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Gov. Newsom began pushing this latest tax increase,\u00a0his own administration admitted<\/a>\u00a0that California\u2019s high gas prices are due to an isolated fuel market, costly regulations and taxes.<\/p>\n

At a State Senate hearing on an earlier version of the tax increase, experts noted that Newsom\u2019s plan was\u00a0unlikely to bring down costs<\/a>, while Democratic Senators raised alarms about the consequences of the plan and\u00a0pondered their own role<\/a>\u00a0in driving up prices.<\/p>\n

The bill passed today on a 52-19 vote, with all Republicans in opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
