(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) Oct 1, 2022 \u2014 Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) released the following statement in response to a\u00a0proposal by Governor Gavin Newsom<\/a>\u00a0to raise taxes on oil producers:<\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornians need immediate relief from soaring gas prices, which we can provide by passing my bipartisan proposal to suspend the gas tax. Instead, Governor Newsom wants to increase taxes yet again,\u201d Kiley said. \u201cThe Governor\u2019s tax hike will make matters worse, by restricting production and passing on costs to consumers in the form of higher gas prices. Californians simply cannot afford more backward policies.\u201d<\/p>\n
California\u2019s average gas price<\/a>\u00a0hit $6.29 per gallon today, nearly $2.50 more than the national average. This is just 15 cents below the state\u2019s record high of $6.44 set in June of this year and an increase of nearly 80 cents in the past week alone.<\/p>\n
\n
In January, Kiley introduced\u00a0AB 1638<\/a>, an urgency measure that would have immediately suspended the gas tax and saved Californian\u2019s over 50 cents per gallon at the pump. That bill was rejected in the Assembly on multiple occasions. Instead of providing relief, the Speaker of the Assembly created the\u00a0Select Committee on Gasoline Supply and Pricing<\/a>\u00a0to study the issue. To date, the committee has held two hearings and has yet to produce anything actionable.<\/p>\n
\n
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley represents the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0Assembly District, which includes the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County communities of Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Orangevale, Penryn, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sheridan.<\/em><\/p>\n
