CA lawmakers slam ‘ivory tower’ state energy ‘politburo’ as estimated 65-cent gas price hike looms
Story by Charles Creitz • 1h


Atop California Republican lambasted the prospect of a 65-cent-per-gallon hike in gas prices next month, accusing the state’s energy resources board of being wealthy and out of touch with the working class.

Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones of San Diego cited an analysis reported in the Ventura County Star that new regulations up for a vote Nov. 8 will lead to the near-two-thirds-of-a-dollar hike.
 
"A governor who lives in idyllic Marin County, a millionaire CARB executive officer, and a Democrat-exclusive board filled with wealthy politicians, former politicians, and academics have set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner," Jones said.

The Republican added it seems the board members are looking down from their "ivory tower" at the "struggling middle class and working poor."

Let the Dems sink Cali with taxes and nonsense.  Tough love.  It's the only way they'll learn to stop voting Dem.

Well, nothing forces you to peruse this forum. Or to click articles with California news on whatever site(s) you use for news. Your problem solution is in your fingertip.

Nope, one cannot just turn it off as it is like a popup ad on your computer screen which keeps nagging you.  The Union is worse off having California in it as it drags down the rest of the nation like some other memorable states northeast and along the western coast.

I know you live there, as I once did 20 years ago, and it remains a beautiful state with lots of things going for it; however, it has so little chance of changing its stripes back to the days of Nixon and Reagan.

No, I do not. Please qualify or retire that ridiculous stereotype.
