SANTA ANA, Calif.—The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this week to urge California Gov. Gavin Newsom to suspend the state’s gas tax for six months.
The matter, brought forward last-minute by both OC Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Don Wagner and Supervisor Katrina Foley in two separate resolutions, will ask the state to use its estimated $45–50 billion surplus to temporarily remove the 0.51 cent gas tax at a time where gas prices have reached record highs.
