I am writing to voice my opposition to the gas tax associated with
the cap and trade the will be effective Jan. 1, 2015.  This tax
will do nothing but drag California back into the recession.  You
cannot take 2 billion dollars out of the economy and not expect
huge economic repercussions.  Such as business, closing, layoffs,
home foreclosures.  This tax will hit every person in the state and
especially hurt the working person/family who are just now trying
to work their way out of the recession.

This tax will force people to move out of state as they cannot
afford to live here or their are no jobs to be had that they can
get to support their families.

Their are parts of the state that are still experiencing high
unemployment, such as the central valley and this will just knock
the legs out from underneath whatever ground the people might have
gained back.

The people will pay twice for this tax, first for their own
vehicles and then in the form of higher prices for the items they
have to have to survive (ie: food)

So please do the people of this state a favor and eliminate this
tax as there is absolutely nothing good that come from it in the
way of helping the people of Ca. to provide for their families.

Remember every dollar that comes out of the economy in the form of
a tax is one less dollar that the people have in their pockets to
save, or purchase items to continue to make the economy grow.

So, use common sense and eliminate this tax for the good of every
working person and retired person in the state.

Thank you
