And we have to put up with this here in California.
The road tax of 6 cents per gallon.....

the latest increase from a 2017 law designed to raise about $5 billion a year for road and mass transit programs.

A 12-cent-per-gallon boost came that November, and voters last year rejected a Republican-led effort to repeal the law.

With a stroke of his pen, California Governor Gavin Newsom has redirected part of the money you pay at the pump with the state’s gas tax to the railway system and other projects.

Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-19-19.

It calls for leveraging billion in annual state transportation funds to reduce green house gases and emissions.

And why is gasoline at $4 per gallon here in California????
