The California Senate has passed a bill allowing car dealers to impose additional charges to buyers, raising processing fees up to $500. This action, taken with bipartisan support, has drawn criticism from consumer advocacy groups who argue this contradicts earlier commitments by lawmakers to reduce costs for Californians. Advocates feel it burdens car buyers, while dealers argue the fee increase is necessary to cover rising operational expenses. Notably, only one senator opposed the bill, reflecting its broad support among legislative members despite the contentious nature of the added fees.
To get the program to work, city staff and nonprofit outreach workers spent roughly three months coaxing residents, explaining their offer, listening to concerns and making accommodations to the shelter policies where possible.
There's no two ways about it. It's just benefiting car dealers at the expense of car buyers. That's it.
