State lawmakers are requesting audits of California’s fuel regulations, which are expected to raise gas prices, and San Francisco Bay Area bridge tolls, which will see an annual increase through 2030.

“We were hoping that the audit would be heard in June,” state Sen. Dave Cortese, who requested one of the audits, told The Epoch Times. “We’re just competing with all the other audits that are in there right now.”
