"Buy an EV, you'll save on gas" - whoops that means no gas tax.

Instead of adjusting the budget and spending less, they'll just find another way to squeeze money out of *everyone* - no matter if they already pay the gas tax or not.

We have a serous $60b deficit this year.

$60b ($45b?) deficit is not due to the $200 million loss in gas taxes, it's due to out of control spending - but the solution is going to be taxing people into oblivion and stealing from your grandkids.

“On average, Californians pay about $300 a year in state gas taxes. EVs have a $100 (annual) registration fee… that’s a $200 million a year loss."

CA is fucked. I'm torn. I want to fight for this vs. Leave.

Beautiful view, they are ruining CA

That means tracking every mile each citizen drives.
