Gov. Gavin Newsom calls California lawmakers into a special session to find ways to cut gas prices
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers will come back in a special session after they wrap up their legislative year on Saturday to debate measures proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom aimed at reducing gas price spikes at the pump. Newsom called the Legislature into the special session Saturday after Democrats in the Assembly pushed back on his efforts to pass the energy package that he unveiled this week. California must act now to “prevent price spikes next year and beyond,” he said. “It should be common sense for gas refineries to plan ahead and backfill supplies when they go down for maintenance to avoid price spikes. But these price spikes are actually profit spikes for Big Oil, and they’re using the same old scare tactics to maintain the status quo,” he said in a statement. Californians pay the highest rates at the pump in the nation at an average of $4.64 a gallon for regular unleaded, compared to the national average of $3.33, according to AAA. Electricity bills in the state have also nearly doubled in the last decade and are expected to keep outpacing inflation through 2027 as California races to transition away from fossil fuel.
