California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Sen. Brian Dahle met Sunday for their only debate ahead of the November election.
Dahle, a farmer from the northwest corner of California who also owns a trucking business, said it cost $200 a day to put diesel fuel in his trucks — a cost he says has increased the price of food. He said California should have used its record budget surplus to suspend the state’s gas tax, which he says would amount to a $1,700 rebate for taxpayers.
Newsom pushed back, noting he has signed laws sending billions of dollars back to taxpayers since the start of the pandemic, with the latest round of cash hitting taxpayers’ bank accounts this month. That’s far better than suspending the state’s gas tax, Newsom said, because there would be no way to guarantee oil companies would pass the savings along to drivers.
On abortion, Dahle said he would remove $20 million in the state’s budget that would help pay for women from other states to come to California for the procedure. But he said he would leave money for "reproductive care" in the budget, without detailing what that meant.This week, "The Issue Is" is on the road, taking the show to Washington, D.C.
