"bio": "\u003ca href=\"http://www.MarkFiore.com\">MarkFiore.com\u003c/a> | \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/markfiore\">Follow on Twitter\u003c/a> | \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Fiore-Animated-Political-Cartoons/94451707396?ref=bookmarks\">Facebook\u003c/a> | \u003ca href=\"mailto:mark@markfiore.com\">email\u003c/a>\r\n\r\nPulitzer Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

That number doesn’t include assistance programs operated by local governments. State officials won’t be able to approve all those applications by March 31.

On Thursday, two lawmakers — Assemblymembers Tim Grayson and Buffy Wicks, both Democrats — introduced a bill that would extend eviction protections for people with pending applications through the end of June. Lawmakers plan to have public hearings on the bill next week before voting to send it to Gov. Gavin Newsom on March 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Governor strongly supports an extension that continues to protect tenants well into the summer and ensures that every eligible applicant is protected under this nation-leading rent relief program as it winds down,” Newsom’s office said in an email Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has extended eviction protections multiple times during the pandemic, always over the objections of landlords who say they are being squeezed by, in some cases, going more than a year without receiving rent payments. Last year, Newsom said the chances of extending protections again were “very modest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reactions to the bill were mixed. The largest landlord group, the California Apartment Association, supports the bill because, along with preventing some evictions, it also would stop local governments from passing their own, more stringent eviction laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consistency is very important,” said Debra Carlton, the California Apartment Association’s executive vice president for state government affairs and compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s eviction assistance program will stop taking new applications on April 1, so the proposed law would only protect people who have applied for assistance by that date. The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, a group that represents tenants, said lawmakers should also give people more time to apply. Anything less, they said, would be “a landlord bailout that results in thousands of families on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11908640 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/pexels-thuongdaihua-4203996-1020x680.png']The bill is expected to move quickly through the Legislature. On Thursday, the Legislature’s top two leaders — Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, both Democrats — released a joint statement saying the bill “will receive quick action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made a commitment to those who are in line and they shouldn’t be harmed because of how long the process is taking,” Rendon and Atkins said in a joint statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extension will benefit people like Jenise Dixon, whose application for rental assistance has been pending since October. Dixon says she has lived in the same rent-controlled Los Angeles apartment for 19 years. She said she worked in the entertainment industry, but hasn’t had steady work since the pandemic started and soon fell behind on her rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m one step away from homelessness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her application for rental assistance is stuck because neither she nor her landlord can produce a lease. She said she’s submitted utility bills and other evidence to prove she lives in the apartment, but to no avail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if I’m approved, it’s not going to cover all the months that I’m behind,” she said Tuesday during a news conference organized by housing advocates urging for an extension of eviction protections. “I’m just asking the people at the top, the lawmakers, to give the system a chance to catch up so that people like me don’t fall through the cracks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, California has paid out nearly $2.5 billion in rental assistance to just over 214,000 households, for an average assistance of $11,488. State officials say most of the money has gone to very low- or extremely low-income households that earn less than 50% of their area’s median income. The program could soon run out of money. State officials had asked for an additional $1.9 billion from the federal government, but so far have received only about $200 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tenants shouldn’t have to worry. Last month, Newsom signed a law allowing state money to cover the costs of the program should the federal money not cover all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

On Thursday, two lawmakers — Assemblymembers Tim Grayson and Buffy Wicks, both Democrats — introduced a bill that would extend eviction protections for people with pending applications through the end of June. Lawmakers plan to have public hearings on the bill next week before voting to send it to Gov. Gavin Newsom on March 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Governor strongly supports an extension that continues to protect tenants well into the summer and ensures that every eligible applicant is protected under this nation-leading rent relief program as it winds down,” Newsom’s office said in an email Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has extended eviction protections multiple times during the pandemic, always over the objections of landlords who say they are being squeezed by, in some cases, going more than a year without receiving rent payments. Last year, Newsom said the chances of extending protections again were “very modest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reactions to the bill were mixed. The largest landlord group, the California Apartment Association, supports the bill because, along with preventing some evictions, it also would stop local governments from passing their own, more stringent eviction laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consistency is very important,” said Debra Carlton, the California Apartment Association’s executive vice president for state government affairs and compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

State officials say most of the money has gone to very low- or extremely low-income households that earn less than 50% of their area’s median income. The program could soon run out of money. State officials had asked for an additional $1.9 billion from the federal government, but so far have received only about $200 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tenants shouldn’t have to worry.

But the people are ours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late February, the national USW union reached a nationwide agreement with a group of oil industry companies on a framework for wage increases and working conditions.

A fight for maintaining a standard of living,” White said in a text message to KQED Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron executives say their contract offer is fair, competitive and responsive to the union’s concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, the union’s demands exceeded what the company believes to be reasonable and beyond what was agreed to as part of the national pattern bargaining agreement,” said Chevron spokesperson Linsi Crain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike is taking place amid significant increases in gasoline prices nationwide, particularly in California, where the cost at the pump is higher than in any other state. The average price per gallon of gasoline in the state \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">reached $5.85 on Monday\u003c/a>, according to AAA. The average in San Francisco is now $5.92.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the strike causes the refinery to shut down, that would be bad news for the state’s consumers, said Severin Borenstein, an energy economist at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one of the major producers in the state, and California spot prices for wholesale gasoline are unusually high right now relative to the rest of the country, which indicates tight refining capacity,” he said. “Losing a major refinery would almost certainly push prices up substantially.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has emphasized it plans to continue normal operations at the Richmond plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We anticipate no issues in maintaining a reliable supply of products to the market,” Crain, from Chevron, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tolly Graves, director of the Richmond facility, on Sunday told refinery workers the company had “notified USW that it will proceed with a safe and orderly refinery turnover,” according to a memo to employees obtained by KQED — implying that Chevron planned to transfer operations from union workers to managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employees scheduled to work Sunday night should not report,” Graves said in the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union, along with its supporters and some elected leaders, have raised concerns about the increased risk of accidents if operations are handled by refinery managers and possibly other workers less familiar with the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia, who represents the district where the facility is located, says he’s concerned “the highly trained and experienced USW workers will not be operating the refinery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I continue to urge a resolution of the labor issues so that the Richmond community can feel secure that the most experienced refinery operators remain on the job running the facility,” he said in an email.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"chevron\"]Contra Costa County industrial regulators have been in touch with Chevron for weeks about the potential for a strike, according to Matthew Kaufmann, director of the county’s Hazardous Materials Programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency requires refineries to submit facility management change plans that address staffing levels, duties and training for people who would hold new roles in the event of a labor action. Kaufmann says Chevron had taken the necessary steps in preparation for a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the labor action, inspectors with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District will monitor operations at the Chevron refinery more closely than they normally do, according to agency spokesperson Kristine Roselius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The labor dispute laid bare the extreme tension that exists between some of Richmond’s city leaders and the refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chevron has used Richmond as a personal piggy bank for generations,” Councilmember Claudia Jimenez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our community is on the front lines of the climate crisis and environmental justice and we have Chevron to thank for it,” she added. “USW Local 5 workers are telling Chevron and the rest of the city that their bodies and minds have a limit, and our city does, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another council member, Eduardo Martinez, who’s running for mayor, said Chevron was indifferent to worker safety and the health of city residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a myth that we rely on Chevron for our economic well-being. They rely on us, the residents and the workers. I support USW Local 5 as they refuse to sacrifice all of our health for corporate profit,” Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s current mayor, Tom Butt, seemed unaware of the status of the labor dispute, as of Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last I heard from USW, they told me it was settled,” Butt said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last California refinery strike took place in February of 2015 when work was halted at what was then Tesoro’s Martinez refinery, which is now owned by Marathon Petroleum.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>There’s a collective groan rippling across California as drivers pull into gas stations and see prices above $5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gas prices per gallon are getting higher across the U.S., but prices in California are soaring higher than those in any other state, according to \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/\">AAA\u003c/a>. Yesterday, the average price of gas in California was $5.69 — up from $4.68 a month ago — while the national average was $4.32.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of what has driven up gas prices over the past several months is outside of California lawmakers’ control: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the sanctions that followed, have spiked prices, combined with the fact that \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/22959903/russia-ukraine-oil-gas-price-europe-us-exports-climate-change\">demand for oil has ramped up from pandemic lows faster than supply\u003c/a>.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"James Bushnell, energy economist, UC Davis\"]'While the war is affecting the gas supply, a gas tax cut could mean more profits for gas sellers, and less of a price reduction.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s gas prices tend to be higher than those in other states in part because of higher taxes for infrastructure and environmental fees. State lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article147437054.html\">raised the gas tax by $0.12\u003c/a> after a fraught battle in 2017 to pay for roads, bridges, transit projects and more. Then there’s some amount of higher gas prices in California that’s harder to account for, which Severin Borenstein, an energy economist at UC Berkeley, has dubbed the \"\u003ca href=\"https://energyathaas.wordpress.com/2018/10/15/trying-to-unpack-californias-mystery-gasoline-surcharge/\">mystery gasoline surcharge\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people are feeling the effects of \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg&f=m\">climbing prices\u003c/a> now, and both Democrat and Republican state lawmakers say they want to help. One option is decreasing the state tax on gas suppliers, with the aim of reducing prices. Another, which Gov. Gavin Newsom teased in his \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/03/gov-newsom-speech/\">State of the State address\u003c/a>, is some form of rebate to help defray the higher cost of gas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how each of those proposals would work, and what they would mean for Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Decrease the tax on gas suppliers — but by how much?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California taxes gas before it gets sold and uses the money to fund highway improvements and transit projects. Right now that tax — paid by suppliers — is about $0.51 per gallon, which makes it the \u003ca href=\"https://www.taxadmin.org/assets/docs/Research/Rates/mf.pdf\">second highest in the nation\u003c/a>, after Pennsylvania’s tax. It increases a little bit each year to keep up with inflation. This July the tax is set to go up by about \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4528\">$0.03 per gallon\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom made a modest proposal in January, before Russia invaded Ukraine: Pause the increase for one year. In other words, don’t let the tax go up by $0.03 this year. The Newsom administration described it as \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\">an effort “to potentially lower the price of gasoline”\u003c/a> and provide some relief to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal is so small that “it’s not going to have an effect that anyone will notice,” said Borenstein, the Berkeley economist. Drivers probably wouldn’t notice, but people managing state infrastructure budgets probably would: The plan would cost the state about $523 million in lost revenue. That would mostly wind up affecting funding for state highway projects in a couple of years, according to \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4528\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analysis from the Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders of the majority-Democrat Legislature, which Newsom would need to get on board with his plan, aren’t wild about the idea, saying “our focus cannot be a small cut to the gas tax that might not get passed on to consumers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Republicans have proposed wiping away the whole $0.51 tax in the short term. Last year, Republican state senators \u003ca href=\"https://cssrc.us/content/senate-republicans-call-gas-tax-holiday\">proposed suspending the tax completely for a year\u003c/a>; this year, Granite Bay Republican Kevin Kiley \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1638\">proposed getting rid of the tax for six months\u003c/a>. The six-month proposal would cost the state somewhere between $4 billion and $4.5 billion in lost revenue, according to estimates from Assemblymember Kiley’s office. In both cases, the lost tax money for infrastructure would be made up for by a one-time infusion of other state funds into infrastructure accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The gas tax is something that we control as state lawmakers and it is one lever by which we can provide California taxpayers a bit of relief,” said Kiley. It would be impossible for a Republican to get a bill passed through the Democrat-controlled Legislature without significant support from Democrats; so far a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2022/03/02/proposal-from-gop-lawmakers-would-cut-california-gas-tax-for-six-months/\">couple of Democrats have expressed interest\u003c/a> in the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because the tax applies to gas suppliers, the price of gas would go down only if gas sellers actually passed the savings along to consumers by reducing the price of gas. And there aren’t any guarantees on how much of the savings they’d pass along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, economists at the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office reviewed research on how changes in fuel taxes affect fuel prices, said Seth Kerstein, an economist at the agency. They estimated that between two-thirds to 100% of the governor’s proposal — or \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4528\">$0.02 to $0.03 per gallon\u003c/a> — would likely be passed along to people paying at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that same estimated range applies to the Republicans’ larger tax break — which the agency did not analyze — it would translate into roughly $0.34 to $0.51 per gallon in savings at the pump. Generally, economic theory would say that larger tax changes would get passed through in the same way as smaller ones, said James Bushnell, an energy economist at UC Davis. But gas tax changes also are generally much smaller than $0.51, so the research has been focused on the impacts of smaller changes, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was before Russia invaded Ukraine and the sanctions on Russian companies and gas that followed threw the international gas market into flux.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gas tax breaks “come up every time there’s some kind of oil shock,” said Bushnell. “And that’s the absolute worst time to cut these taxes if the goal is to relieve customer prices.” Gas sellers are less likely to pass all of the savings on to customers when the supply of gas is constrained. In other words, while the war is affecting the gas supply, a gas tax cut could mean more profits for gas sellers, and less of a price reduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, \u003ca href=\"https://energyathaas.wordpress.com/2018/10/15/trying-to-unpack-californias-mystery-gasoline-surcharge/\">California may have a less competitive market\u003c/a> for gas distribution and retail than other states, Borenstein, the Berkeley economist, has found. Far more gasoline in California “flows through stations that are owned by refiners or have long-term contracts that give the refiners significant control over gas prices,” he wrote. That could make it even more likely that sellers pocket some of the savings of a gas tax break for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the question of just how much tax breaks would actually save consumers, Borenstein said reducing or getting rid of the gas tax would be bad policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need gasoline prices to reflect the real costs to society,” said Borenstein, referring to the negative effects of greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and the costs of cars hitting other cars, bikers or pedestrians. When you add up all those costs, gas taxes are actually too low, he wrote in an analysis of the governor’s proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Checks from the state for high gas prices\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During his \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/03/fact-checking-newsom-speech-2022-state-of-state/\">State of the State address\u003c/a> on Tuesday, Newsom unveiled another idea for helping Californians with high gas prices — or, at least, the germ of an idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll be submitting a proposal to put money back in the pockets of Californians to address rising gas prices,” he said. The proposal will be a tax rebate and give billions of dollars to Californians, a spokesperson for the governor said, though it’s not clear yet who exactly will get the money and how much they will get.[aside tag=\"gas, energy\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]The money may be tied to owning a car that’s registered with the state, said Dee Dee Myers, an economic adviser to Newsom.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s gas prices tend to be higher than those in other states in part because of higher taxes for infrastructure and environmental fees. State lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article147437054.html\">raised the gas tax by $0.12\u003c/a> after a fraught battle in 2017 to pay for roads, bridges, transit projects and more. Then there’s some amount of higher gas prices in California that’s harder to account for, which Severin Borenstein, an energy economist at UC Berkeley, has dubbed the \"\u003ca href=\"https://energyathaas.wordpress.com/2018/10/15/trying-to-unpack-californias-mystery-gasoline-surcharge/\">mystery gasoline surcharge\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people are feeling the effects of \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg&f=m\">climbing prices\u003c/a> now, and both Democrat and Republican state lawmakers say they want to help. One option is decreasing the state tax on gas suppliers, with the aim of reducing prices. Another, which Gov. Gavin Newsom teased in his \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/03/gov-newsom-speech/\">State of the State address\u003c/a>, is some form of rebate to help defray the higher cost of gas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how each of those proposals would work, and what they would mean for Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Decrease the tax on gas suppliers — but by how much?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California taxes gas before it gets sold and uses the money to fund highway improvements and transit projects. Right now that tax — paid by suppliers — is about $0.51 per gallon, which makes it the \u003ca href=\"https://www.taxadmin.org/assets/docs/Research/Rates/mf.pdf\">second highest in the nation\u003c/a>, after Pennsylvania’s tax. It increases a little bit each year to keep up with inflation. This July the tax is set to go up by about \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4528\">$0.03 per gallon\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom made a modest proposal in January, before Russia invaded Ukraine: Pause the increase for one year. In other words, don’t let the tax go up by $0.03 this year. The Newsom administration described it as \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\">an effort “to potentially lower the price of gasoline”\u003c/a> and provide some relief to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal is so small that “it’s not going to have an effect that anyone will notice,” said Borenstein, the Berkeley economist. Drivers probably wouldn’t notice, but people managing state infrastructure budgets probably would: The plan would cost the state about $523 million in lost revenue. That would mostly wind up affecting funding for state highway projects in a couple of years, according to \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4528\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analysis from the Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders of the majority-Democrat Legislature, which Newsom would need to get on board with his plan, aren’t wild about the idea, saying “our focus cannot be a small cut to the gas tax that might not get passed on to consumers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Republicans have proposed wiping away the whole $0.51 tax in the short term. Last year, Republican state senators \u003ca href=\"https://cssrc.us/content/senate-republicans-call-gas-tax-holiday\">proposed suspending the tax completely for a year\u003c/a>; this year, Granite Bay Republican Kevin Kiley \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1638\">proposed getting rid of the tax for six months\u003c/a>. The six-month proposal would cost the state somewhere between $4 billion and $4.5 billion in lost revenue, according to estimates from Assemblymember Kiley’s office. In both cases, the lost tax money for infrastructure would be made up for by a one-time infusion of other state funds into infrastructure accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The gas tax is something that we control as state lawmakers and it is one lever by which we can provide California taxpayers a bit of relief,” said Kiley. It would be impossible for a Republican to get a bill passed through the Democrat-controlled Legislature without significant support from Democrats; so far a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2022/03/02/proposal-from-gop-lawmakers-would-cut-california-gas-tax-for-six-months/\">couple of Democrats have expressed interest\u003c/a> in the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because the tax applies to gas suppliers, the price of gas would go down only if gas sellers actually passed the savings along to consumers by reducing the price of gas. And there aren’t any guarantees on how much of the savings they’d pass along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, economists at the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office reviewed research on how changes in fuel taxes affect fuel prices, said Seth Kerstein, an economist at the agency. They estimated that between two-thirds to 100% of the governor’s proposal — or \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4528\">$0.02 to $0.03 per gallon\u003c/a> — would likely be passed along to people paying at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that same estimated range applies to the Republicans’ larger tax break — which the agency did not analyze — it would translate into roughly $0.34 to $0.51 per gallon in savings at the pump. Generally, economic theory would say that larger tax changes would get passed through in the same way as smaller ones, said James Bushnell, an energy economist at UC Davis. But gas tax changes also are generally much smaller than $0.51, so the research has been focused on the impacts of smaller changes, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was before Russia invaded Ukraine and the sanctions on Russian companies and gas that followed threw the international gas market into flux.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gas tax breaks “come up every time there’s some kind of oil shock,” said Bushnell. “And that’s the absolute worst time to cut these taxes if the goal is to relieve customer prices.” Gas sellers are less likely to pass all of the savings on to customers when the supply of gas is constrained.
