Gov. Grisham Signs Gas Tax Hike Bill

If there was ever a good reason to give the Democrat Party the boot out of Santa Fe, this one certainly takes the grand prize.

It is no surprise she would raise gasoline taxes since she is California Gov. Gavin Newsom's "butt girl" on leftist polices, including energy. Small wonder why she's one of the nation's most unpopular governors.

Piñon Post reported:

On Tuesday, the far-left, anti-energy Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed H.B. 41 into law. The bill sponsored by Sen. Mimi Stewart (D-Albuquerque) is dubbed the “clean fuel standard.”

The bill will increase gas prices by at least 50 cents per gallon, and you can expect similar increases in groceries and supplies and pretty much everything else. This bill will make life more expensive in New Mexico for average consumers — harming the poorest New Mexicans, who will take the biggest hit with the new law. 

The bill finally passed the Legislature by a thin margin of 36-33 in the House of Representatives.

California, Oregon, and Washington have similar laws in place, and the gas prices in these states have risen significantly due to the radical proposal.  

Remember this whenever you fill up your gas tank and remember to VOTE OUT ALL DEMOCRATS from the New Mexico state legislature. Under this law, gas prices can (and likely will) rise more than 50 cents per gallon.
