Heres reason number one.
Venom should be targeted at people who elect these grifters. Governor is just taking advantage of the ignorant population and laughing all the way to the kickbacks.
He is reason No. 1. Nutcase Newsom is probably the most corrupt person ever to be governor of CA. Even Brown was better which has been demonstrated this year when Nutcase Newsom signed a bunch of bills into law that even Brown had vetoed while governor.
I see gas stations in other states advertising prices under $2.50 per gallon while Californians are paying over $4 per gallon for regular. Why? Two big reasons are that CA has raised the gas tax starting last year, and each year the tax will increase as the cost of living percentage increases. Plus, CA charges sales tax on gas, including applying the sales tax on top of the gas tax.
The second reason is that CA requires gas refined to higher levels than the rest of the US. That means that gas cannot be imported from other states any time one or more CA refineries are taken off line. Even more absurd is that it is near impossible to build new refineries in CA due to its wacko environmental requirements.
Summing it all up, Nutcase Newsom is a POS. If not for our old age, after having lived in CA for nearly 50 years, we would be moving elsewhere. When I moved here, Ronald Reagan was governor and it was a great place to live for quite a few reasons. Now, the only reason to live here is that most of this state has the best climate of any US state.
