Hello All, 

California has the most expensive gas already with nearly $1.50 of
every gallon going to CA taxes. This increase of another possible
$0.68 makes the cost of gas prohibitive, especially to people who
commute or are low income. Pair this with Newsom's ill conceived
attempt to force storage levels on refineries and you have a power
keg situation. The refineries will pass on the storage costs to
consumers. So what, we'll have the cost of gas tax in CA nearing $3
of every gallon? The level of bureaucratic absurdity in this policy
is endemic of unelected officials making policies they don't
understand, with wide ranging negative economic impact on all
residents. These policies increase the cost of living, which will
fuel the continued exodus of people moving out of state. It's time
to stop making the cost of living in CA unreasonable.
