California Election Results Could Trigger a Gas Tax Hike: Here's Who Will Pay More at the Pump
The latest California election results are sending a chill down every commuter's spine. With a narrow margin in key races, a new proposal to raise the state's already highest-in-the-nation gas tax by 15 cents per gallon is suddenly back on the table. For the average driver, this means a potential $200 annual hit to your wallet starting as early as next quarter. Transportation experts warn that this could ripple into higher grocery prices and delivery fees across the state. If you thought filling up was painful now, these results suggest the worst is yet to come.
