California is already one one of the top states in gas taxes. On top of that because of mandates CA can't use gas from other parts of the country and there is indirect carbon tax on gas. The state for years has diverted proceeds from gas taxes to fund other gov't spending.

[LouAvul]

And none of the money will go to its intended purpose. They'll use it as any good politician would, viz. to buy votes from the deadbeat class of voters. This is the reason the whole of America is in such deplorable shape. Not everybody deserves to vote.

ostensibly for transportation infrastructure

Ah, the choo-choo.

[Vic S]

They should have a website that shows how much money was brought in for a given month and the infrastructure projects that money is being spent on.

The state lottery money was going to be spent on the schools.

[ptsal]

this is nonsense....

moonbeam and the supermajority will squander the money.

[dp0622]

How do people make ends meet out there?

[Two Kids' Dad]

Moonbeam must truly hate California because he’s doing a bang up job of screwing up everything he possibly can. High taxes, a terrible business environment, massive over-regulation, prioritizing illegals over citizens and prioritizing weird animals and insects over all humans, dumping a sh*t-ton of money into a bullet train project that’ll never see dollar one in net profit and may never even see completion, and the list goes on and on.

The bill, which also raises Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) fees...

A guy in our church is a retired CHiP officer; he couldn't believe the difference in cost to tag a vehicle in Missouri compared to CA.

“But Gov. Brown gained an ally in the one Republican to vote for the new tax hike, State Sen. Anthony Canella (R-Ceres), who supported the measure in exchange for a project in his district, according to yourcentralvalley.com.”

Openly buying a vote...cool.

[Angels27]

Congratulations Jerry Brown on sticking it to the stupid people in our state one more time. I’m sure thry will love being made even less prosperous and be willing to give you a fith term if it wasnt for those pesky term limits

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

12 cents is too low. Should be a $2.00 tax. For the children.

[DeFault User]

Where are the headlines?

Minorities and Women Hardest Hit

[Vendome]

So what does that put us at?

$.78 cents per gallon?

Women, children and the poor will be hardest hit.

That’s an additional $2.40 per tank...

Nice job

Guess they figured we would pay since we were paying $4-$5 per gallon just a few years back...

Still, that makes the current tax 30%-50% of a gallon depending on where you buy...

[Dilbert San Diego]

And on top of that, California charges sales tax on gasoline.

So, Calif. drivers pay the federal gas tax, the existing state gas tax, the new 12 cent gas tax, a variable carbon tax, and sales tax when buying gas.

How much can you tax one product???

[DAC21]

Elections have consequences. the Hispanics, Asians and white snowflakes gave the Rat party a super majority last Nov. and they aren’t going to let it go to waste. A $2 a pack new cigarette tax just went into effect last week as well.

[drypowder]

Tar and Feathers would not be punishment enough for the democrat scoundrels in Sacramento. I would lean more towards nooses.

[Gay State Conservative]

Adding to his impressive CV in anticipation of a Presidential run.I,personally,would say that it's his turn and he will get the Rat nomination.

[I am Richard Brandon]

Divide the State - not likely. Risk the 55 Electoral Votes for a Democrat President? Definitely not likely.

[husky ed]

That's going to head straight to the general fund. Buy an E-ticket for your roads citizens.

[jmaroneps37]

Democrats need more and more money to buy votes. They see the curtain coming down on the flow of illegal Democrats who will be sneaking into our country.

[umgud]

Don’t forget they just had a $2/pack cigarette tax increase. No more smoking and driving.
