SACRAMENTO – Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher (Yuba City) issued the following statement on the introduction of legislation enacting Gov. Newsom’s scheme to increase gas prices by requiring refiners to withhold fuel from drivers:
“After six years of Newsom’s failed leadership, Californians’ gas prices have soared by $1.33/gallon and are still some of the highest in the country. This stunt from the governor will only make things worse. When we come back for this special session, Assembly Republicans will be ready with smart proposals to increase our energy supplies and bring costs down.”
