I was raised in Ca. and still own multiple homes there. It's hard to lay blame on just Newsome for what's happening there but he surely is responsible for some of the lunacy. Just one small example is that all lawn mowers and weed eaters and gardening tools must be battery operated, no more gas. Now folks have to travel to Nevada for tools.
Because of EV sales, gas tax is dwindling so now theirs talk of taxing vehicles based on milage driven.
