SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California leaders all agree that residents need some kind of relief from inflation and soaring gasoline prices — but who should qualify? Drivers? Those in lower income brackets? All taxpayers?
At least three plans are now on the table to provide some kind of rebate to Californians coping with expensive fuel costs. But they differ on who would actually get the money.
Golden State fuel prices continue to climb. Calfornia's average price per gallon hit $5.88 on Wednesday, while the national average was about $4.24 per gallon, according to AAA.
