Proposition 30′s defeat marks a win for Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who campaigned against it despite his administration’s moves to ban the sale ofnext decade. He branded it a taxpayer-funded giveaway to rideshare companies, which under California regulations must ensure nearly all trips booked through their services are zero-emission by 2030. The rideshare company Lyft supplied most of the "yes" campaign’s funding.
Transportation is the largest source of planet-warming emissions in California, accounting for roughly 40%. That’s not just from passenger cars, it also includes delivery trucks, ships, public transit and other forms of transportation. At Newsom’s direction earlier this year, California air regulators adopted a ban on the sale of new cars that run solely on gasoline starting in 2035. Car companies would have to sell cars powered by hydrogen, batteries, or hybrids that run on a gas-battery combo. People could still drive their gas-powered cars or buy used ones.
Lol
They just tax the middle class.
I thought Republicans were the ones that didn’t want to tax the rich. So you’re saying it’s been the Dems all along?
Sux for the person that just won the lottery. 😆 Maybe that person is moving to Nevada, then claiming their prize?
Wait so California isn’t completely insane?
We need big government! Give them more and more money! We can trust them to be efficient!
