Peter CaulfieldPeter Tateishi, CEO of the Associated General Contractors of California, says the association is pleased Governor Gavin Newsom has decided not to suspend the state gas tax, as it had feared he might do so.
In his letter, Tateishi wrote suspending California’s gas tax “will further diminish our already under-maintained existing infrastructure and delay urgently needed, new transportation infrastructure improvements. Instead of suspending the gas tax, Newsom and state legislators agreed to a tax relief plan in which about 23 million eligible Californians could each receive payments of up to $1,050.
Tateishi says suspension of the gas tax would have cost the state $4.7 to $5 billion per year in funding for road improvements. In 2018, it was part of a coalition that helped defeat Proposition 6, an initiative to repeal the Road Repair and Accountability Act .
