Among them is Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, who on Wednesday signed a law to send checks of up to $500 to state residents. The reason, he said in a statement, is to soften the impact of inflation on household budgets — and also return some of money amid a record state budget surplus.

Add blue state Delaware to the list... $300/taxpayer going out shortly. The intellect of the average politician in our state is at potato level. Apologies to any potatoes I may have offended.

Keep in mind: Newsom wants to send checks to owners of registered vehicles...

He didn’t eliminate ELECTRIC VEHICLES owners.

I assume their prices for juice are way up too, or will be shortly. Their juice is 50% or so generated from nat gas.
