California Could Give Car Owners Up to $800 in Gas Cards
< < Go Back
The state hopes to offset high gas prices with a direct contribution to tax payer’s wallets.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drags onwards, energy prices remain high with little sign of relief coming any time soon. Californians have been particularly hard hit, with Governor Gavin Newsom proposing a rebate to help out drivers at the pump, reports CalMatters.
We’re proposing $9 billion in tax refunds to address rising gas prices — $400 per registered vehicle, up to 2 per person. We’re also proposing grants so public transit can be free for 3 months.
We know Californians are paying at the pump & with this refund, millions get $ back. pic.twitter.com/fNZOT3ds4S
