Out of fairness to working families, Governor Newsom must suspend the state gas tax now.
Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks before signing a bill addressing gas price gouging, at the Capitol, Tuesday, March 28, 2023, in Sacramento, Calif. California taxes continue to rain down on families thanks to a state government that thinks they know how to spend your money best. The latest hardship is yet another increase in the state gas tax, which now sits at a highest-in-the-nation 60 cents per gallon as families kickoff summer travel.
Southern California families deserve better. We already pay more in gas taxes than residents of any other state – a total of 78 cents per gallon when combined with federal taxes. And our current average price sits at $4.79 per gallon, compared to the national average of $3.50 per gallon. Californians are suffering enough under President Biden and Governor Newsom’s inflation. Now, Newsom’s tax hikes are making it unaffordable to drive, even as we already experience the highest retail gas prices in the nation. Rising gas taxes, along with high income and business taxes, continue to drive small businesses and middle-class Americans out of California.
