I’m one of those lucky individuals that have a vehicle with a highly efficient engine and a turbocharger to boost the power when needed. Unfortunately it requires top tier fuel and that has been in and over the $4 range for some time here in SoCal. The funny part is that if I drive from Palm Springs to just the other side of the Arizona State line, gas is a dollar a gallon cheaper. Go figure.


The figure is State Taxes. Ca's are a lot higher than Az

First law of economics. Oil is traded in dollars. If the dollar is weak on the money markets the price of gas goes up.

The assembly controls where money goes for the most part. All a governor can do is spend it once they allocate it. The governor can ask/beg the assembly to move money around and allocate it but only the assembly has that power. The executive branch only handles the money after the assembly has allocated it. Oh, and as for the pension funds, the assembly controls those in the end also. They were the ones with the power to divert those funds, not the governor. Plus the assembly were the ones who did not kick in their share of those pension funds for many years, they gave the funds an IOU instead. Slept through 12th grade Government Class?
