California adds 12 cent gas tax and 20 cent diesel tax

I'm from SC where as illustrated we have low gas taxes and have driven all over the state. We have some terrible roads and bridges yet some places have good ones. Perhaps some Senators brother in law owns a road paving company which is why some are good and some are bad. There have been ongoing fights in the legislature about the topic of roads for years and zip/squat has been done. They have done little to improve funding nor have they fixed what's either gross negligence, incompetence, or corruption.
