A proposed $400 tax rebate to help Californians deal with high gas prices draws support, but don't expect to see any checks in the mail next week.
The proposal comes as pressure mounts to help Californians struggling with prices at the pump, as well as increases in the costs of food, rent and other daily essentials.All Californians who pay state income taxes would receive a $400 rebate, regardless of their income. So, in theory, billionaire Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and the manager of your local In-N-Out would both receive a rebate of $400.
Petrie-Norris said the intent of the group of Democratic lawmakers — which included moderate legislators — was to provide as much relief as possible to as many Californians as possible. But she acknowledged that decisions about who would receive a rebate and how much they would get will be hashed out in negotiations with the legislative leadership and the governor.
“The thing about a gas tax suspension is that it is naturally targeted at folks who are feeling the pain,” said Assemblymember Kevin Kiley . “People who are driving the most because let’s say they live in a rural area, or maybe they have to commute a long distance to work, or maybe they have several kids they have to drive to school, the benefit will be commensurate with the pain that they’re feeling right now.
if the tax is suspended, warning that the companies might pocket the savings instead of passing them along to drivers at the pump.
