A GOOD IDEA WITH ESSENTIAL ZERO CHANCE OF GOING ANYWHERE

CA state senator Tony Strickland  


CA state senator Tony Strickland has proposed that the state of CA stop charging a gasoline tax for one year and knock off the twice-yearly legally mandated fuel mixture change for one year.  It is believed that this would drop the cost of gasoline in CA about $1 per gallon pretty much instantly.  The legislative proposal is written as an emergency bill which would take effect immediately upon being passed into law.

IMHO it has essentially zero chance of going anywhere and pretty much the same chance of being signed into law if it makes it to the governor's desk.  Of course it the price of gas balloons quickly enough that the Democrats in the legislature sweat their re-elections and if Newsom thinks that signing it might help his presidential aspirations, then maybe......
