Show Notes
Californias gas tax revenue, crucial for road repairs, is threatened by fuel-efficient and electric vehicles. A new bill, AB 1421, proposes a mileage tax to address the potential $31 billion shortfall. However, the bill faces opposition and skepticism, with claims of a sneaky Democrat plan for a mileage tax. Supporters from both parties advocate for a study to find fair options, while critics propose short-term solutions like suspending the gas tax. The bills future in the Senate remains uncertain, and Governor Newsoms team denies any mileage tax plans.
