California's gas tax suspension up for discussion again

A group of California lawmakers will try to suspend the state's gas tax for the second year in a row, a proposal that continues to draw rejection from the state’s top Democratic leaders. California drivers pay the highest state gas tax in the nation at 54 cents per gallon. Republican state lawmakers are behind multiple pieces of legislation to try to temporarily suspend it for a year. The measures were filed Monday in both the state Senate and Assembly for both the regular legislative session and the special legislative session Gov. Gavin Newsom called in response to spiking gas prices. More here: http://www.kcra.com/article/california-suspend-gas-tax-special-session/42170969
