Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Legislature into special session to deal with gas prices, but so far evidence of price gouging is slim to none.

It’s time to blow the whistle on the farcical efforts of California’s politicians — especially Gov. Gavin Newsom — to reduce the state’s high gasoline prices.However Newsom has never offered any persuasive evidence of such behavior, nor has it been confirmed by those who have seriously examined the factors that cause California gas prices to be the highest, or nearly the highest, of any state.
Newsom’s latest foray is a demand that the Legislature order refineries to put more fuel into storage, as a buffer against price spikes caused by refinery outages or other factors.
