Gov. Newsom's budget pays for $1.5 billion in electric car subsidies & charging stations. There are millions of people hurting right now and they can’t afford a shiny new electric car. They can barely keep the cars they’ve got. https://t.co/hadzgSoHI9

BREAKING: High Speed Rail Authority is under criminal investigation by the Inspector General of the US Department of Transportation. Officials have also been interviewed by the FBI. More is going on behind closed doors than mere mismanagement. Tick. Tock.https://t.co/0G6Q8ok5rt

The bullet train, which was not supposed to be built with a tax increase, is being built with a hidden tax that is raising the cost of living in California. The cap-and-trade program is a slush fund, and the high-speed rail project is a train robbery. https://t.co/49DZm2FH3U

Im pleased to announce that Susan Gladding has been selected as the 23rd Assembly District Woman of the Year. Her courage has been the driving force behind Gavins Law, legislation that will close a loophole used by hit-and-run drivers. Please join me in congratulating her! https://t.co/uxHtH18jq9

A minor ticket can turn into a $1,100 penalty. Why? CA imposed a 20% temporary ticket tax and then made it permanent. A 20% tax on top of a traffic ticket is a sneaky way to pick our pockets. Im joining Adam Gray as a Co-Author to end the tax for good.https://t.co/z6y9fppD1F

The Governor wants to build roads &amp; bridges faster by making it easier to get through the CEQA roadblocks. What a great idea! Seems like I<U+2019>ve heard that somewhere before!

In the dead of night with no hearing, Lorena Gonzaleznotorious for these kinds of tacticskilled my bill, AB 3278. It recently passed out of the Asm. Transportation Committee with bipartisan support and would've ensured that the high speed rail does not operate under a subsidy. https://t.co/bxtEVNh9Aw

The new #highspeedrail business plan is out today. Costs jumped from $12.4 to $13.8 billion, but the real headline here is they are now only building ONE TRAIN TRACK from Madera to Shafter. It's all they can afford. This is a true Going out of Business Plan. https://t.co/x2U3acSUZ4

I sounded the alarm on this last week. @GavinNewsom wants to spend $1.5b on electric car subsidies &amp; charging stations. My Dem colleague said it best: "..ask the average person, what are their issues right now...no one’s thinking about electric vehicles." https://t.co/bDMXYeEg5r
