Sacramento, CA…Senator Alvarado-Gil is coauthoring Senate Bill 2 to roll back recent amendments to the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCF.
Determined to protect California families from more rising costs, Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) is coauthoring legislation to repeal a recent California Air Resources Board (CARB) decision that is projected to raise gas prices by 65 cents to 85 cents per gallon.
“Simply put, my rural and Central Valley constituents can’t afford any increase in gas prices. The impact will be felt in every household, making it harder for families to take their kids to school, go to work, and put food on the table,” said Senator Alvarado-Gil. “This hike was approved just a few weeks ago by an unelected board of millionaire bureaucrats, whose agenda is completely out of touch with the realities of normal Californians. If the progressive legislature is serious about making life more affordable, then passing this bill should be a no-brainer.”
On November 8, 2024 CARB adopted amendments to its Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), which is set to impose more costs on oil companies in California and lead to higher prices for consumers. While CARB initially projected a 47 cents per gallon increase, it later retracted that estimate and refused to provide an updated figure. A report from the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania now estimates the price increase could range from 65 cents to 85 cents per gallon.
Due to continued silence from CARB regarding the true cost of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) amendments, Sen. Alvarado-Gil joined Senate Republicans in urging the board to postpone the November 8 vote. She also encouraged her constituents to sign a petition calling for the same. Despite these calls for transparency and delay, CARB moved forward and approved the amendments.
Senate Bill 2 (Jones) would only repeal the November 8 decision, and would not eliminate the LCFS program or the board’s clean air initiatives. If approved, it would take effect immediately.
“This is our opportunity as a legislature to reclaim our power and stop a bad policy from making life in California even more expensive,” Alvarado-Gil concluded.

The Senator has been stepping up since her conservative conversion to protect children and to protect consumers and hardworking Americans. i’ve written to her to thank her for representing us well instead of focusing on free-for-all bathrooms and borders.
Perfect “conservative”. She sexually harassed a staffer, made him go down on her in a car, screwed up his neck. He’s sueing. That skank fits right in with the MAGA clowns in California.
Typical corrupt left who always says they’re guilty until proven innocent.
Except when it’s them, like Biden now thinking of giving so many left politicians blanket immunity for crimes they may of committed…just like his ” my son has done nothing wrong” dating back since Joe bribe’em was VP.
This is not new news, this is the reason why Harris and the dumbcraps lost the election for the Presidency, they lost the Senate, they lost the House, and now they can’t pack the Supreme Court. The majority of the American voters know the left is as corrupt as Joe Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Waters, Schumer and just about all Democrats in office, but read on.
”
Voters have delivered a devastating verdict on Joe Biden’s time in office, branding him the worst president in almost 50 years.
An exclusive Daily Mail poll found Biden was less impressive than Jimmy Carter, who was voted out after a single term after presiding over double-digit inflation and a botched effort to rescue American hostages in Iran.
The poll result also makes him worse in voters’ minds than Richard Nixon, who forced to resign rather than face impeachment over the devastating Watergate scandal.”
Imagine that? Worse then NIXON!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah right. Allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Democrats are “corrupt”, and not a one Republican is. AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Starting at the top, The head republican is a convicted sexual attacker. Also guilty of 34 counts in NYC, FELONY counts by the way. And thats not even considering his swindling of his “University” students. The people his businesses have stiffed for generations.
But lets not forget his new “Ambassador” to France. You know, the convicted felon who spent time in the can for what he did. Or how about Peter Navarro, that fat phuck Bannon who just got released.
Yep, not one corrupt Republican!!! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You above are so full of it, you can see the forest from the trees.
Well your hero’s now haave the WH, Senate, Congress. Lets see what all of those “straight arrows” do for the American people for the next 4 years. Probably won’t even try to line THEIR pockets, right?

All rise for the January Sixth Hostages. Said the felon sexual assaulter.
All Democrats rise and raise your right hand for blanket immunity for any and all crimes including all of the fake Jan 6th committee members who destroyed all evidence Congress asked for.
^^ you can get off your knees now good job.
I’d like to ask a favor.
Please send a Christmas card to the DNC, pretty please? Don’t forget to address your check to DNC, DO NOT address the check to Kamala, the DNC does not want to pay for her $5,000 pedicure, or another $15,000 Vaginoplasty surgical procedure.
Thank You, and remember, DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE…FOR A NEW WAY FORWARD!!!
I can’t believe Kamala lost! I guess the Trump voters are happy now that they saved democracy.
What’s next, pride in America? Pride in our Military? Pride in our Freedom? American Flags at the homes of those who demand equal justice? How corny is that?
