California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed giving state residents some relief in the form of a tax rebate, as rising energy costs have led to the Golden State having the highest gas prices in the nation.
"In January we proposed a pause to the gas tax increase. Now it’s clear we have to go farther," Newsom said Tuesday in his State of the State address. "And that’s why working with legislative leadership I’ll be submitting a proposal to put money back in the pockets of Californians to address rising gas prices."
Gas prices, all over the $5 per gallon mark, are displayed at a gas station in Rancho Cordova, California, Monday, March 7, 2022. Gas prices have been skyrocketing in recent weeks, and President Biden has warned that they could continue to climb after the U.S. banned purchases of oil from Russia. Newsom did not go into detail of what his proposal would be, but senior adviser Dee Dee Myers said it would be a rebate that could total billions of dollars. The rebate would be limited to those who have cars and reside in California, Myers said. According to local
