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.",

As a Cambodian refugee whose family was shattered by the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, it gave him a sense of security. But at 16, pursued by members of a rival gang, he fired a gun and killed someone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yung was tried as an adult, convicted of murder and sent to prison with a sentence of 35 years to life. Now 25 years on, the California \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/bph/parole-suitability-hearings-overview/what-to-expect-after-a-parole-suitability-hearing/\">parole board has approved Yung’s release\u003c/a>, based on the work he’s done to rehabilitate himself and help fellow incarcerated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until late Friday, it seemed as if Yung faced the possibility of being released from prison only to be locked up again, this time by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Yung feared he’d be deported to Cambodia, a country his family fled when he was 3 years old. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Anoop Prasad, lawyer, Asian Law Caucus\"]‘As long as California is relying on ICE to act with decency and compassion, we have a problem, because ICE has a proven track record across administrations of acting with cruelty. We need a systemic solution.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for Yung, the stakes were high.

Gavin Newsom’s repeated pleas since last summer for a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/07/california-water-use-drought/\">15% voluntary cutback in water use\u003c/a> compared to 2020 levels are failing to reach many residents, particularly in Southern California. Yet, Newsom has so far stopped short of issuing a mandatory order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the voluntary call, some areas were doing OK, others not so well,” said \u003ca href=\"https://pacinst.org/meet-our-staff-heather-cooley/\">Heather Cooley,\u003c/a> research director with the Pacific Institute, a global water think tank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom spokesperson Alex Stack declined to answer whether the governor intends to set a mandatory conservation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency regulations allowing water providers to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2022/01/california-drought-water/\">bar certain wasteful water uses\u003c/a>, such as hosing down sidewalks with tap water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But water use nevertheless ticked up statewide, compared to January two years ago. The biggest increase was in the \u003ca href=\"https://cawaterlibrary.net/hydrological-region/colorado-river/\">desert region\u003c/a> that includes the Palm Springs area and the Imperial Valley, where water use increased 19% over January 2020 levels. The \u003ca href=\"https://cawaterlibrary.net/hydrological-region/south-lahontan/\">South Lahontan region\u003c/a>, spanning the Sierra Nevada mountain communities of Southern California and Death Valley, had the second highest increase, at 9%. Residents of the Los Angeles basin and San Diego County used 1.8% more water, while those in most of the Central Valley used 6% to 7% more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is, however, some progress to report: Statewide, residents used nearly 6.5% less water between July 2021 and January 2022, as compared to that same period two years earlier. But that reduction still fell far short of Newsom’s requested 15%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/t9JDM/10/\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a year after Newsom declared a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/04/governor-drought-emergency-in-northwestern-counties/\">drought emergency in hard-hit northwest counties\u003c/a>, some experts say a state mandate is critical to keeping enough water in storage to survive a drought that could last for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message gets pretty garbled,” Cooley said, of the state’s voluntary request. “With a mandate, it’s a very clear message about the need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://eesa.lbl.gov/profiles/newsha-ajami/\">Newsha Ajami\u003c/a>, a longtime water researcher, said the mandate should have happened months ago, when reservoirs were low and there was no precipitation in sight. “Having a mandatory water restriction is in everyone’s benefit,” said Ajami, who is a chief strategy and development officer for research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new state data only includes water use from urban water districts, not rural irrigation districts that serve farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference last week in Sacramento, California’s Natural Resources Secretary \u003ca href=\"https://resources.ca.gov/About-Us/Secretary-Crowfoot\">Wade Crowfoot\u003c/a> thanked residents for their water-reduction efforts but reiterated a plea for voluntary cutbacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m also here on behalf of Gov. Newsom to ask all of us to do more,” Crowfoot said. “It’s once again time for Sacramentans, residents of this region, Californians to step up and help us navigate through this drought.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>into the last devastating drought, in 2015, Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.ca.gov/archive/gov39/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/4.1.15_Executive_Order.pdf\">authorized state regulators\u003c/a> to order reductions from water suppliers in an effort to conserve 25% more water across the state. Regions were assigned a certain percentage of water depending on \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/conservation_portal/docs/factsheet/implementing_25percent.pdf\">their existing use\u003c/a> — and could face escalating consequences\u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/conservation_portal/docs/factsheet/fs_compliance_actions.pdf\"> and fines \u003c/a>if they exceeded those thresholds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians responded: They cut their water use by 23.9% between June 2015 and February 2016, compared to the same months in 2013, according to water board staff. Cities and towns still use less water daily than they did before the last drought began: about 17% less per person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, however, many water suppliers have relied \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/06/california-water-shortage/\">on ramping up outreach and rebates\u003c/a> rather than imposing new restrictions or fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordering California’s water suppliers to cut back further would likely prove controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"drought\"]State Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://sd14.senate.ca.gov/\">Melissa Hurtado\u003c/a>, a Democrat from Hanford, is skeptical that it would work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still not even over the [COVID-19] vaccine mandate and the testing mandate, and now you’re going to ask people to cut down on water consumption? That you should take less showers and you can’t get a new pool or whatever it may be?” she said. “Yeah, no, that’s going to make people really angry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurtado called for structural and technological changes — like \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/09/california-drought-farmers/\">developing more drought-resistant crops\u003c/a> and fixing canals damaged by subsidence — over behavioral ones. Those, however, take time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water providers caution against reading too much into the low January conservation numbers: It’s harder for Californians to make a dent in their water use during the winter, when many already cut back on watering their yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, which had record-setting storms, Californians used 15.6% less water compared to the previous year, with the greatest savings in southern parts of the state. It was the first time Californians statewide crossed the 15% water conservation target that Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/07/california-water-use-drought/\">urged residents to meet last summer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since July, the greatest savings came from the hard-hit North Coast and the San Francisco Bay Area, and the least from the inland mountains and deserts of central and southeast California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water systems on the North Coast “were the canary in the coal mine,” said Marielle Rhodeiro, research data specialist with the water board’s conservation program. “They were the first to start running out of water. I think there’s a little bit more awareness up north, probably because we’re closer to the immediate problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-some-water-suppliers-crack-down-others-coax\">Some water suppliers crack down, others coax\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For some local water agencies, voluntary calls for conservation have been relatively successful, although reductions have fallen short of the state’s 15% target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Municipal Utility District, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/06/08/ebmud-to-charge-more-for-water-but-wont-force-customers-to-use-less/\">upped its rates\u003c/a> to fund improvements and asked residents to voluntarily cut water use by 10%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district ramped up rebates for replacing turf in yards and street medians, and launched an advertising campaign on streaming audio platforms and social media recommending five-minute songs for people to listen to while they showered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It worked, to a certain extent: From July through December, water use decreased by more than 10%, compared to the same period last year, the district reported to the state. But now the savings are slipping; water use increased in February, according to district water conservation manager Alice Towey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clearly, it’s becoming difficult [to conserve] this time of year, when nature is normally watering our East Bay gardens,” she said. This February was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/national-climate-202202\">California’s second-driest on record\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther south, in San José, insufficient voluntary conservation \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjwater.com/customer-care/mandatory-conservation-plan-2021\">prompted the local water company to institute surcharges\u003c/a> for those who exceeded mandatory limits. In November, the California Public Utilities Commission approved the district’s mandate, which took effect in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sjwater.com/drought\">San José residents saved 20% more water\u003c/a> in November compared to 2019 levels. But those savings evaporated in December and January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The area also lost about half of its above-ground water storage capacity due to earthquake retrofits for the region’s largest reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liann Walborsky, San José Water’s director of corporate communications, said her company supported a statewide mandate. “I think it would just help validate all the work we’ve been doing since June,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-mandates-may-not-be-enough\">Mandates may not be enough\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For some water systems, even mandatory calls for conservation haven’t been enough to weather water shortages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By May 2021, in the small North Coast hamlet of Mendocino, residents and businesses were required to use 40% less water than their allocations. Wells still went dry, water trucked from other districts climbed in cost when it was available, and restaurants in a town reliant on tourism were forced to weigh whether staying open was worth the expense of washing the dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Rhoades, supervisor for the Mendocino City Community Services District, said he filled buckets of creek water to keep relatives’ toilets flushing. He said most residents managed to stay below the mandatory target, but estimates that about 5% didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county and state stepped in to help, subsidizing trucks to haul water 60 miles from Ukiah to a reservoir in nearby Fort Bragg to bolster the coastal towns’ supplies. The conservation mandate was lifted after early winter rains, and was replaced by a call to voluntarily reduce use \u003ca href=\"https://www.mccsd.com/\">by 15% of each well owner’s allotment\u003c/a>. The city, however, is bracing for another dry summer — and hoping to prevent more shortages ahead.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"State Sen. Melissa Hurtado, D-Hanford\"]‘We’re still not even over the vaccine mandate and the testing mandate, and now you’re going to ask people to cut down on water consumption? That you should take less showers and you can’t get a new pool or whatever it may be? Yeah, no, that’s going to make people really angry.’[/pullquote]Rhoades said he’s awaiting word from the state on possible funding to tie into the local school district’s water supply, drill more wells and increase storage. The wait, he said, is “frustrating and challenging, because people are aware that we have a problem, and we need help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state budget last year \u003ca href=\"https://ebudget.ca.gov/BudgetAddendum.pdf\">included $5.2 billion\u003c/a> for drought response and water resiliency.

Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.ca.gov/archive/gov39/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/4.1.15_Executive_Order.pdf\">authorized state regulators\u003c/a> to order reductions from water suppliers in an effort to conserve 25% more water across the state.

That you should take less showers and you can’t get a new pool or whatever it may be?” she said. “Yeah, no, that’s going to make people really angry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurtado called for structural and technological changes — like \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/09/california-drought-farmers/\">developing more drought-resistant crops\u003c/a> and fixing canals damaged by subsidence — over behavioral ones. Those, however, take time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water providers caution against reading too much into the low January conservation numbers: It’s harder for Californians to make a dent in their water use during the winter, when many already cut back on watering their yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, which had record-setting storms, Californians used 15.6% less water compared to the previous year, with the greatest savings in southern parts of the state. It was the first time Californians statewide crossed the 15% water conservation target that Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2021/07/california-water-use-drought/\">urged residents to meet last summer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since July, the greatest savings came from the hard-hit North Coast and the San Francisco Bay Area, and the least from the inland mountains and deserts of central and southeast California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water systems on the North Coast “were the canary in the coal mine,” said Marielle Rhodeiro, research data specialist with the water board’s conservation program. “They were the first to start running out of water. I think there’s a little bit more awareness up north, probably because we’re closer to the immediate problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-some-water-suppliers-crack-down-others-coax\">Some water suppliers crack down, others coax\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For some local water agencies, voluntary calls for conservation have been relatively successful, although reductions have fallen short of the state’s 15% target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Municipal Utility District, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/06/08/ebmud-to-charge-more-for-water-but-wont-force-customers-to-use-less/\">upped its rates\u003c/a> to fund improvements and asked residents to voluntarily cut water use by 10%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district ramped up rebates for replacing turf in yards and street medians, and launched an advertising campaign on streaming audio platforms and social media recommending five-minute songs for people to listen to while they showered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It worked, to a certain extent: From July through December, water use decreased by more than 10%, compared to the same period last year, the district reported to the state. But now the savings are slipping; water use increased in February, according to district water conservation manager Alice Towey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clearly, it’s becoming difficult [to conserve] this time of year, when nature is normally watering our East Bay gardens,” she said.

But those savings evaporated in December and January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The area also lost about half of its above-ground water storage capacity due to earthquake retrofits for the region’s largest reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liann Walborsky, San José Water’s director of corporate communications, said her company supported a statewide mandate. “I think it would just help validate all the work we’ve been doing since June,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-mandates-may-not-be-enough\">Mandates may not be enough\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For some water systems, even mandatory calls for conservation haven’t been enough to weather water shortages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By May 2021, in the small North Coast hamlet of Mendocino, residents and businesses were required to use 40% less water than their allocations. Wells still went dry, water trucked from other districts climbed in cost when it was available, and restaurants in a town reliant on tourism were forced to weigh whether staying open was worth the expense of washing the dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Rhoades, supervisor for the Mendocino City Community Services District, said he filled buckets of creek water to keep relatives’ toilets flushing. He said most residents managed to stay below the mandatory target, but estimates that about 5% didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county and state stepped in to help, subsidizing trucks to haul water 60 miles from Ukiah to a reservoir in nearby Fort Bragg to bolster the coastal towns’ supplies. The conservation mandate was lifted after early winter rains, and was replaced by a call to voluntarily reduce use \u003ca href=\"https://www.mccsd.com/\">by 15% of each well owner’s allotment\u003c/a>.

"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. People who have switched to other modes of transit to reduce their carbon footprint \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IDoTheThinking/status/1501398807631646729\">aren’t\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/skip_sf/status/1501406272729632769\">wild\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/schadenfraade/status/1501573882284806147\">about\u003c/a> that idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could also wind up looking like the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/02/california-golden-state-stimulus-600-check/\">stimulus checks California sent out last year\u003c/a>, said Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget and Policy Center. If the last stimulus program is an indicator, the state could send out checks a couple of months after lawmakers reach an agreement, Hoene said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding could come from the state’s estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\">$21 billion surplus\u003c/a>. But there are a lot of “ifs” and “maybes” because most of the details still need to be worked out with the legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This proposal would also ensure that money intended to reach Californians actually does, said Bushnell, the UC Davis economist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sending out checks to everyone — if lawmakers go that route — would also be more economically equitable than lowering the price of gas, said Borenstein. \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2020/3/20/21184814/climate-change-energy-income-inequality\">Wealthier people use more energy than poorer people\u003c/a> on average, so lowering the price of gas would help them more.

"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. 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.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom wants to use a tax refund to ease the pressure Californians are feeling at the gas pump and double down on his commitment to lead the country’s transition away from fossil fuels, he \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDKPJHkK520\">announced Tuesday evening in his annual State of the State address\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing few political headwinds on his path to reelection and bolstered by record tax revenues, Newsom opened the speech by acknowledging the ongoing attack on Ukraine and tying that “geopolitical uncertainty” to the economic pressures squeezing Californians. With the average price of a gallon of gas soaring above $5 in the state, the governor vowed to include a tax refund in the revised state budget proposal he will release in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also resisted calls to expand local oil production in the face of President Biden’s ban on oil imports from Russia, saying there is a third way forward, a better way he dubbed “the California way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a time when we’ve been heating up and burning up, one thing we cannot do is repeat the mistakes of the past,” Newsom said, “by embracing polluters, drilling even more, which only leads to even more extreme weather, more extreme drought, more wildfire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Think about this — in just ... the past few years we’ve seen whole communities wiped off the map: Greenville, Paradise, Grizzly Flats.

The governor highlighted those wins, noting the state’s impressive GDP growth and strong job growth over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report from the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office released last month projected that the state will rake in at least $6 billion more than anticipated in Newsom’s January budget proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A healthy budget windfall will allow Newsom and legislative Democrats to pursue record investments, like the $1.5 billion the governor wants to spent on electric vehicle charging stations, rebates for purchasing electric cars and local green initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s leadership in clean technology … is not just a national security and an environmental justice imperative. Clean energy is this generation's greatest economic opportunity,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom offered no details on how the tax refund would be calculated. The state's gas tax, \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Transportation/FAQs\">which is $0.51 per gallon of gasoline this fiscal year\u003c/a>, is charged to suppliers, not directly to consumers at the pump. And Republicans immediately blasted the proposal as too little, too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A gas tax rebate in July will do exactly nothing for drivers who are currently struggling with the highest gas prices in history, being forced to choose between driving their kids to school or putting food on the table,\" said Republican Assembly Leader James Gallagher, R-Yuba City, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDKPJHkK520\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Tuesday's speech, Newsom also touted his marquee proposal, called Care Court, to help Californians with severe mental illness or addiction, many of whom are experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan, unveiled last week, would require each county to create a mental health branch of civil court and provide individuals with treatment and supportive services. Participants would be compelled to accept care, or face forced hospitalization or conservatorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting people off the streets, out of tents and into housing and treatment is essential to making our streets safe for everyone,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11907115]In a prerecorded \"prebuttal\" to Newsom’s speech, Assemblymember Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita, urged the governor to declare a state of emergency on homelessness, a move that could remove some regulatory hurdles to building shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also tied the issue of homelessness to public safety, a clarion call for the state Republican party ahead of this year’s midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The failure of the governor on this issue is clear,” Valladares said. “Not just in growing encampments but in the tidal wave of crime that is washing over our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom acknowledged the anxiety over crime, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11906253/violent-crime-soared-during-the-pandemic-but-does-the-political-debate-reflect-the-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">polls show increasing despite low overall crime rates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11906253]But just hours after Democrats in the Legislature voted down a GOP bill that sought to repeal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11796149/voter-approved-criminal-justice-reform-expected-to-save-state-over-122-million#:~:text=Proposition%2047%2C%20which%20was%20approved,as%20misdemeanors%20instead%20of%20felonies.\">Proposition 47\u003c/a>, the controversial 2014 criminal justice reform measure supported by Newsom, the governor argued that the state needs to strike a balanced approach in response to concerns of crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our approach is to be neither indifferent to the realities of the present day, nor revert to the heavy-handed policies that have marked the failures of the past,” he said, citing recent new investments in law enforcement including the creation of a special unit at the attorney general’s office dedicated to combating retail theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888259/newsom-prevails-in-california-recall-election-holds-onto-job-as-governor\">surviving a bitter recall\u003c/a> in landslide fashion, Newsom pushed back against what he described as “powerful forces and loud voices — stoking fear and seeking to divide us, weakening the institutions of our democracy.” He tied what’s happening in Ukraine to the divisions in America, and said that California’s green energy future will allow the state to be freed “from the grasp of petro-dictators.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also used the relatively short address to highlight the ongoing changes he’s pushed in public education, including expanding transitional kindergarten and before- and after-school programs and making community college free for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a sign of the political debate ahead this midterm election year, he also used that part of the speech to take a swipe at states like Florida and Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not talking about that version of education 'reform' being promoted in some states where they’re banning books, where you can sue your history teacher for teaching history and where you can’t say the word 'gay,’” he said. “I’m talking about a real transformation of our public education system, like we’re doing right here in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>An earlier version of this story misidentified the tax refund as a \"gas tax rebate.\" We regret this error.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom wants to use a tax refund to ease the pressure Californians are feeling at the gas pump and double down on his commitment to lead the country’s transition away from fossil fuels, he \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDKPJHkK520\">announced Tuesday evening in his annual State of the State address\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing few political headwinds on his path to reelection and bolstered by record tax revenues, Newsom opened the speech by acknowledging the ongoing attack on Ukraine and tying that “geopolitical uncertainty” to the economic pressures squeezing Californians. With the average price of a gallon of gas soaring above $5 in the state, the governor vowed to include a tax refund in the revised state budget proposal he will release in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also resisted calls to expand local oil production in the face of President Biden’s ban on oil imports from Russia, saying there is a third way forward, a better way he dubbed “the California way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a time when we’ve been heating up and burning up, one thing we cannot do is repeat the mistakes of the past,” Newsom said, “by embracing polluters, drilling even more, which only leads to even more extreme weather, more extreme drought, more wildfire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Think about this — in just ... the past few years we’ve seen whole communities wiped off the map: Greenville, Paradise, Grizzly Flats. How many more are we willing to sacrifice? We need to be fighting polluters, not bolstering them,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11907580\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11907580\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54115_001_KQED_GasStationSF_03082022-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"gas price marquee outside a San Francisco gas station\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54115_001_KQED_GasStationSF_03082022-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54115_001_KQED_GasStationSF_03082022-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54115_001_KQED_GasStationSF_03082022-qut-1-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54115_001_KQED_GasStationSF_03082022-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54115_001_KQED_GasStationSF_03082022-qut-1-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign shows prices at $5.69 a gallon for regular gasoline at a Circle K gas station on Potrero Avenue and 17th Street in San Francisco on March 8, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Newsom previously had proposed to delay a scheduled increase in the state’s gas tax, a decision buffered by the state’s surging revenues, which have continued to rise as the state bounces back from the pandemic.
