I'LL BET GAVIN JUST TOTALLY HATES THIS

By Bob Walsh

 

 

Valero is shutting down its oil refinery in Benicia in April of next year. 

 

There has been a story floating around Sacramento for close to a week that the state of California (which for practical purposes means Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-Socialist party) has been trying hard to bribe Valero to NOT close down their refinery next year.

Gavin Newsom hates gasoline and car owners almost as much as he hates guns and gun owners.  He wants to force people to drive electric cars or take mass transit.  It's a religion to him.  He is POSITIVE that he is right and the inconsiderate slugs who want to drive their own gas powered vehicles are morally reprehensible.  But he wants to be President so bad it makes his teeth hurt and he knows that if gasoline jumps to $7 or $8 per gallon in CA next year while he is trying to full his pipe dream he hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell.  Therefore this move.  

It isn't clear just what incentive the state is offering or whether or not Valero is biting.
