Even As Prices At The Pump Remain High, California Is Still Raising Its Gas Tax

Even as gas prices remain elevated in the United States, the state of California will fail to suspend an upcoming increase in its gas tax.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) initially supported the suspension of a 5.6% gas tax hike scheduled to occur on July 1. California lawmakers, however, will fail to pause the increase before a May 1 deadline — even though they have bill language from the governor’s Department of Finance, according to Politico.

At $0.51 per gallon, California already has the highest gas tax in the nation. Meanwhile, prices at California pumps have climbed to $5.68 per gallon as of Wednesday, according to AAA.

“It is clear now that the Legislature will not act in time to provide that immediate, limited relief,” Newsom spokesperson Alex Stack said in a statement. “But we look forward to working with lawmakers on the Governor’s proposal for direct payments to Californians wrestling with rising prices.”- READ MORE
