Original Note:
The gas tax is going up 1.6 cents, not 65 cents. Also, this isn’t Governor Newsom’s gas tax. He took office in January 2019. This was approved by the Legislature in 2017 (SB-1) and by voters (Proposition 6) in 2018, before Governor Newsom took office in January 2019. https://caltax.org/2025/06/06/cdtfa-increases-gas-tax-to-61-2-cents-per-gallon-effective-july-1/ https://dot.ca.gov/programs/sb1 https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=6&year=2018 https://www.nga.org/governor/gavin-newsom/
