The issue of California’s gas tax increase is shaping up to be a hot topic in this year’s midterm election after opponents were successful in putting a measure on the Nov. 6 ballot to get it repealed.

Proposition 6, which garnered nearly one million signatures, would overturn Senate Bill 1 (SB-1, officially called the Road Maintenance and Accountability Act), which was passed by the Democratic State Legislature and signed by Governor Jerry Brown in April last year.
