The California Legislature's nonpartisan analyst estimates the state's pollution tax has raised gasoline prices by 11 cents per gallon and diesel prices by 13 cents, according to a month-old letter released on Thursday...
Consumers may not have noticed much impact at the pump because the pollution tax came at a time when gas prices were plummeting...
A large portion of the money is dedicated to California's high-speed rail line...

A $%#&#$%^&%$# high speed rail line.
In the interest of public hygiene, all chocolate rations will be double wrapped in card and aluminum foil.
In the interest of efficiency and productivity all chocolate rations will be weighed complete with wrappers.
Block captains will assemble to receive the neighborhood chocolate rations as before
Well, ya gotta get the money up to pay for that new minimum wage hike somehow.
Have they even the built high speed rail line? Or, are they just collecting the tax with the promise that someday they will?
There you go. Once again, gasoline taxes are confiscated to pay for non highway related things.
Then they demand toll lanes to finance highway upkeep and improvements.
Fleecing the flock is an all too common occurrence in Dumbofornia.
Just really happy I live in the middle of nowhere in fly over country.
I’ve been thinking about Kalifornia and the future. When the teeming starving masses finally head east and north to loot their neighboring states we’ll have to fight them. Oregon is a lost cause as is much of Nevada and Arizona. There’s no way to close the desert. However Utah is a lot farther and gas be difficult to acquire. We can protect Utah by closing the Virgin I-15 access pretty easily.
The difficult part will be the I-80 route across the Nevada desert. However it’s so far from Frisco (700 miles) that fuel problems will limit the numbers of moochers that could get to the border. We can slow them up with strategic rockfalls and barricades between Wendover and Elko. We should be able to pick off any that get through that.
I’m just trying to think ahead.
Not a “native” Californian, but have you thought of providing migrating conservatives some kind of signal or sign that could be used so they could get through?
I don’t plan to be here when this happens, but there will be others...
Construction on the first 29-mile segment began last summer on a bridge over the Fresno River and Highway 145 near Madera. Currently, construction is in progress on a new, higher overpass at the southern end of the project in downtown Fresno. The overpass will not support the train, it will allow traffic to pass over the train. The existing overpass is too low for the new train to pass under.
Safest to get out now. Even if there were ID cards for conservatives we’d have to worry about liberals murdering the conservatives for them and trying to sneak through.
Not my circus. Not my monkeys. Funny, though. :-)
