GOVERNOR NEWSOM WANTS AN INVESTIGATION OF CA HIGH GAS PRICES

Gov. Gavin Newsom has asked California's attorney general to investigate why the state's gas prices areso high.  

“It will take people and investigative resources,” he said of the impending probe by the attorney general and the California Department of Justice. “Even if they don’t find any illegal acts, if they find the cause, the investigators can advise the Legislature on solutions.” 

There is no identifiable evidence to justify these premium prices,” Newsom wrote in a letter to Attorney General Xavier Becerra. “If oil companies are engaging in false advertising or price fixing, then legal action should be taken to protect the public.”
