California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has been thwarted by the Democrat-dominated state legislature in his effort to punish oil and gas companies for alleged fuel price gouging, and will now turn to executive actions instead.

Newsom tried blaming oil and gas companies for the high price of fuel, calling the legislature into a special session to pass laws to punish the industry. But he had tohis proposal as a “penalty” rather than a “tax” to avoid a rule in the California state constitution requiring tax hikes to pass by a two-thirds majority.

Now, following the example first set by President Barack Obama on immigration policy and gun control, Newsom is abandoning the legislature, and intends to take executive action to limit oil and gas industry profits.California Gov.

He is getting the boot straight to a jail cell,watch!

Wonder how Oil/Energy companies might respond? Stop producing? Leave the state? ...and why do liberals vote pols who have no understanding of basic Economics?

All oil companies would have to do is not deliver fuel for a few days, maybe one or two days and guess who's head would explode?

So oil companies have more political power than elected representatives. GODBLESSAMERICA

This so called man more like cowards is trying to start a race war . He knows that if they give reparations it will cause a war . Stop letting them use you for there political agenda . Do everything possible to block this theft of tax prayers money

He's got to gouge wealthy companies to offset California's outlandish deficit due to Woke policy.

Worst governor in the country should run with the worst president in the country that it!!! Biden /Newsom 2024

Dude is such a douche bag.

Maybe he can be held accountable to CA voters for gouging their fuel prices with 53 cents in taxes per gallon?

Newsom is going to be the dem nomination in 2024. He is powerhungry and wants to run for president in 2024. Biden is too dement, weak, old and a failure. HC and Harris are more unpopular then Biden. Buttigieg has scandals. Warren is too liberal. Bernie sold out. Gabbard is gone!

👍

No worries. Only those that voted to recall him will have to pay $10 for a gallon of gas. The faithful rich have EVs. The faithful poor will get checks.

Gas stations in California should just shut down for a few weeks, take a vacation.

People are fleeing California for its massive taxes. Manager at a walmart told me his salary is 70k a year. He ends up keeping 35K a year because of California taxes.. He left California in a tranfer and still kept his 70k salary to Arizona.He now is keeping $55k a year after tax

I cant stand Newsom but I am for consumer price protection as long as its truly done for the consumers interests and not political. Big companies are consolidating power and need to be kept in check

Newsom is working to destroy the state of California!

Get this soccer out of office.

dictatorship

and this destroyer wants to be President, imagine what he'll do if that happens, nationwide

Communist

Stop being part of the problem you clown! On another note. Anyone wonder how much money Newsom has in SVB?

Scum ball!!!

It is long past time the for the Getty, Pelosi, Newsome, and Brown Families to go.

How it works; Lets Talk Just Profit; $1 per Gal + gas Taxes + Sales Taxes + Gains or Profit Taxes , 20%+ TIMES 2 =+.40 Gains Tax now = .28 Profit now = $1.12 Record Profits at The Cash Register; Democrat Taxes at Work 4 WHO ? Consumers Pay the Bill , Democrats Lie about Motives

When legal paths fail. Go with the illegal and tyrannical. Democrats.

then they will be challenged in court.

an empty suit.

I think his hair gel is affecting his brain.
