Newsom proposes $11B relief package for Californians grappling with high gas prices
Has Newsome ever seen a handout he didn't like? Meanwhile the homeless camps, addicts and mental patients are exploding.
You think normal people want to ride the bus even if it's free? LOL - who wants to ride in a sloshing toilet?
As Californians continue to contend with the highest gas prices in the country, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) proposed an $11 billion package on Wednesday aimed at providing residents with significant relief.
“We’re taking immediate action to get money directly into the pockets of Californians who are facing higher gas prices as a direct result of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,” Newsom said in a statement, noting the package aims to protect residents from volatile gas prices.
The governor’s proposal calls for $9 billion in tax refunds to Californians in the form of $400 direct payments per vehicle, limited to two vehicles, the news release from the governor’s office said. The package also includes an additional $2 billion in broader relief mechanisms.
