Assemblyman Joe Patterson (R-Rocklin) has criticized Governor Gavin Newsom's special session, urging Democrats to reject the governor's proposal which he claims would withhold gas from California drivers. According to Patterson, energy experts within Newsom's administration have warned that this plan could lead to increased prices and supply shortages.
"Californians are tired of getting ripped off at the pump thanks to Democrats’ high taxes and regulations – and they see right through Newsom’s attempt to blame everyone but himself," said Patterson. "Newsom’s sham special session proposal will do absolutely nothing to address California’s outrageous gas prices and will likely drive costs even higher. I hope the majority party will support a transparent process that allows for bills from both sides of the aisle, instead of blindly doing the Governor’s bidding."
