California to raise its gas tax, already the highest in the nation to 53.6-cents per gallon on July 1

[1srelluc]

California lawmakers appear unlikely to pause the annual summer increase in the state's gasoline tax ahead of a May 1 deadline, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said on Monday.

Newsom, a Democrat, had previously expressed support for helping California motorists experiencing pain at the pump by waiting to implement a 5.6% tax hike scheduled to take effect on July 1. The tax is used to fund roads and other infrastructure projects; the state's Legislative Analyst's Office projected the tax will generate about $8.8 billion in revenue during the 2021-22 fiscal year.

But lawmakers will almost certainly fail to stop the gas tax increase from taking place because they would need to pass legislation by Sunday in order to do so – and have yet to introduce a bill on the matter.

California to raise its gas tax, already the highest in the nation

Dems are completely tone deaf......Meh, suck it up CA, it's what you voted for.

The price of a U-Haul out of that shit-hole state just went up....Again.

While they are passing out gas cards to "the poor".

They are going to make the state completely unlivable sooner rather than later.

This short sighted POS hasn't got a clue. He is targeting all of the out of state tourists that visit every summer. He hasn't taken into account that the higher fuel prices will drive tourists to other more economical locations, hurting the CA citizens who depend on those tourist $$. I know I won't be setting foot in CA until their gas fall to less than $3.50 a gal. and that won't be anytime soon.

Unlivable for ordinary working class people who presume they can afford to live in the 'milk and honey' of the country.

Gasoline tax is a great way to even out the income inequality, by issueing gas cards to low income people when it's warranted.

cents per liter x 4 to equal a US gallon +- a few cents.

Canada's gas tax is much higher but on overall taxes Americans pay more. And that's not even taking into account all the social benefits Canadians receive that America's don't receive.

What do Americans 'really' want?
Bankrupcy if you need to have an appendectomy?

Wait a minute, Obamacare was supposed to have solved that problem wasn't it?

Middle class folks can't even afford a half decent home in CA anymore and the problems of crime and homelessness are driving tens of thousands who still have a little money out of the state every year.

Lat year alone the state lost 182,000 in population and without illegal immigration they'd be bleeding population like an aortic aneurysm.

Where us that? It's over a 1.25 below the national average.

Too much easy money will do that and that has been the result of the entertainment industry being primarily headquartered there.

If they're not wealthy they leave. The poor will be heading for the dust bowl states.

They poor can't afford to leave. We're getting the entrepreneurs, retirees, and middle class since that's who's leaving the state.

Real capitalists wouldn't condemn either California or 'easy money'.

They appreciate the law of supply and demand.

Demand for a waterfront property on the Pacific Ocean and the supply of enough money to buy it!

We're still under 4.00 statewide but not buy a whole lot and we'll never have a state income tax despite dem's trying for the last 30-40 years.

You are dumber than a Turdeau mandate, duck. Even taking Canada's lower value money into account, your citizens in Montreal pay less in gas tax than people in CA. Montreal residents pay .69 CAD which translates to .55 USD--close, but less than CA. Canadian fuel is less than CA pays as well. A gallon (3.785L) of gas in Montreal costs $5.45 US.
