Newsom: Gas tax relief checks delayed until October under Legislature plan
requires Sacramento to send some of this money back to taxpayers or spend it on select categories, including education and infrastructure.In a short statement to the Bay Area News Group, Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon said they are working to provide taxpayers with speedy financial relief, although they did not directly address Newsom’s criticism.
Scott Graves, research director at the California Budget & Policy Center, an organization advocating for low-income residents, said Newsom should not look to the DMV’s cumbersome bureaucracy when the state already relied on the Franchise Tax Board to target billions of dollars in relief payments to families.
The average price for a gallon of regular in California topped $5.76 on Thursday and was even higher in the Bay Area. Regardless of gas relief checks, drivers should expect to pay around 3 cents more per gallon come July 1 due to an inflationary increase to the gas tax that is currently pegged at 51 cents a gallon. Newsom had sought to pause the increase, but the legislature failed to meet a deadline last week to do so.
Among them is Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, a Democrat who narrowly won her Orange County district in 2020. Petrie-Norris also proposed a $400 relief plan in March.
