California Democratic assemblymembers announced that they are proposing a $400 rebate for taxpayers due to the rising gas prices.
Assemblymembers are proposing that the state use $9 billion of the state's budget surplus to provide the rebate.
The rebate would cover the current 51.1 cent per gallon gas tax for one full year of weekly fill-ups for a car with a 15-gallon gas tank. "Many Californians are feeling severe financial pain at the pump and looking to California’s leaders for help," said Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris. "We believe a rebate is the best approach to directly put money in people’s pockets."Every Californian who files taxes would receive a rebate—including those who don’t own or drive a car—because all Californians have seen an increase in living expenses.
