California State Senator Janet Nguyen has issued the hyperlinked petition which she will discuss with John today at 3:00pm. The text of the petition is as follows:
"We, concerned Californians, urge the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to reconsider its proposed gas price increases. The recent disclosures of significant hikes in gas prices have raised alarm among residents, who are already facing financial challenges.
Our main concern is CARB's lack of transparency in communicating these increases, which directly impacts all of our budgets. The potential disproportionate effect on individuals unable to afford alternative transportation options raises questions about the practicality of these proposals.
We call on CARB to conduct a thorough analysis of the proposed increases' impact on consumers and provide transparent information to aid informed decision-making.
Addressing inquiries from Senate and Assembly members is essential for accountability and transparency in this matter. CARB must prioritize the well-being of Californians and consider suspending proposed increases until these concerns are adequately addressed."
