Governor Gavin Newsom has called a special session for California lawmakers to address measures aimed at curbing gas price spikes, emphasizing the need for preventive strategies.
Newsom criticized Big Oil for profiting from price spikes, describing it as a strategy based on scare tactics that maintain the status quo rather than addressing supply issues.
With California gas prices averaging $4.64, significantly above the national average, state lawmakers express a divide in their approach to tackle this pressing economic issue.
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas supports the special session for thorough examination of proposals, while Senate leadership, including Republicans, expressed opposition to reconvening after the legislative deadline.
