Californians could be set to receive a tax rebate in an effort to combat the soaring cost of fuel in the state, Gov. Gavin Newsom has said.

Speaking at his annual State of the State address on March 8, the governor said he is working with lawmakers to give money back to taxpayers to offset record-high gas prices in the golden state, which are among the highest in the United States.
