Gov. Newsom’s Executive Order Authorizing Theft of Voter-Approved Gas Tax Money
Order violates Prop. 69, while eliminating highway expansion and repair projects
By Katy Grimes, October 7, 2019 3:15 pm
Through an Executive Order, California Governor Gavin Newsom has redirected gas tax money to fund railway systems and other projects. The gas tax revenue would have repaired and upgraded the state’s broken highways and roads.
Californians pay the highest gas prices in the nation, most of which is taxes.
Of vital concern, Newsom’s latest road plan for California eliminates two important highway expansion projects on vital freight corridors in Central California.
Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-19-19 September 20, directing the already controversial gas tax money away from fixing local highways in favor of rail projects.
Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno) recently explained that in the 2020 Transportation Plan are two projects that would have increased stretches of Highway 99 from four to six lanes in the Central Valley. Patterson says that a Cal Trans’ report even notes the “bottleneck” created at these sections along this major freight corridor.
“Instead of building capacity on our highways to move people and freight, Governor Newsom is funding his pet rail projects throughout the state,” Patterson said. “This theft of funds meant to improve our roadways is a glimpse into the future of transportation in our state and Newsom continues to execute his September 2019 Climate Change Executive Order. The Central Valley is just the beginning. Other road projects will likely be next.”
“This is theft of our gas taxes by Executive Order. Governor Newsom is intentionally starving us out of our roads. Voters approved SB 1 with the promise that our crumbling highways would get the attention they deserve. Instead of building capacity, our gas tax funds are being siphoned off to fund Newsom’s favored pet-projects,” Patterson said. “Governor Newsom’s promise not to forget about the Central Valley is full of hot air, just like his climate plan.”
Gov. Newsom’s office issued a press statement to explain the plan, just ahead of Climate Week:
Transportation Systems: The California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) is directed to invest its annual portfolio of $5 billion toward construction, operations and maintenance to help reverse the trend of increased fuel consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the transportation sector. CalSTA, in consultation with the Department of Finance, is also directed to align transportation spending, programming and mitigation with the state’s climate goals to achieve the objectives of the state’s Climate Change Scoping Plan, where feasible. Specifically the Governor is ordering a focus for transportation investments near housing, and on managing congestion through innovative strategies that encourage alternatives to driving.
CBS47 said, “It calls for leveraging billion in annual state transportation funds to reduce greenhouse gases and emissions.”
Assemblyman Patterson says, “One of the very first things Governor Newsom decides to do, is put forward an executive order and his people at Caltrans have decided they are going to terminate addition north and south freeway lanes on Highway 99 in Tulare and Madera County. I’m almost speechless with response to this,” CBS47 reported. “When you pay for gas and you pay a gas tax, a railroad is not a highway. This is bait and switch. This is saying one thing and doing something else. I just think all who represent California both Democrats and Republicans have better step up and stand up and say Mr. Governor you can’t do this.”
California’s roads and highways are a disaster waiting to happen, thanks to decades of neglect by the state.
California’s largest state budget ever — $215 billion — is larded with a record number of local pork-barrel projects injected by individual legislators, often in exchange for “horse trading” votes on passage of certain pieces of legislation – including transportation and resources spending, as the Globe outlined in June. The $230,650,000 million of extra spending in Resources and Transportation can make your head swim. So why did the governor need to take gas tax revenue if there is plenty of money for pork projects?
In his State of the State address, Newsom focused on affordable housing goals: “He also called out how the Legislature has expedited judicial review on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for wealthy professional sports teams owners – the most recent exemption was done by then-Senator Darrell Steinberg for Sacramento’s Golden 1 Arena, home of the Sacramento Kings. “It’s time we do the same thing for housing,” Newsom said. Then he said that home builders and labor leaders are working together to forge a compromise to accelerate production. ‘If we want a California for All, we have to build housing for all.’”
Just last week, Newsom vowed to accelerate the deadline for communities to meet their mandated short-term housing goals to two years from three. “Our state’s affordability crisis is undermining the California Dream and the foundations of our economic well-being,” said Newsom, “Families should be able to live near where they work. They shouldn’t live in constant fear of eviction or spend their whole paycheck to keep a roof overhead,” the Sacramento Bee reported.
He vowed to “spend $1.75 billion to entice communities to build more.”
Newsom threatened to take money from gas tax bill, Senate Bill 1 by Sen. Pres. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), and ‘redirect’ those funds if cities and counties don’t meet his new housing goals.
SB1, was sold to the people based on its name, as was the gas tax repeal initiative: the “Road Repair and Accountability Act.” The tax money, voters believed, was to fund repairs for the state’s aging roads and highways and bridges.
“This legislative package invests $54 billion over the next decade to fix roads, freeways and bridges in communities across California and puts more dollars toward transit and safety,” RebuildingCA.gov detailing SB 1 says. “These funds will be split equally between state and local investments.”
“California’s state-maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue: $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
Maintenance and Rehabilitation of the State Highway System: $1.8 billion
Maintaining and Repairing the State’s Bridges and Culverts: $400 million
Repairs to Local Streets and Roads: $1.5 billion
Matching Funds for Local Agencies: $200 million
Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
Freeway Service Patrol: $25 million
New Funding to Transit Agencies: over $750 million
Trade Corridor Enhancement Program: $300 million
Solutions for Congested Corridors Program: $250 million
Local Planning Grants: $25 million
Transportation-Related Research at state universities: $7 million
Workforce Training Programs: $5 million
Proposition 69 Violation
In 2018, Californians also overwhelmingly passed California Proposition 69, the Transportation Taxes and Fees Lockbox and Appropriations Limit Exemption Amendment. Prop. 69 requires that revenue from the diesel sales tax and Transportation Improvement Fee enacted by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 be used for transportation-related purposes; and exempt revenue generated by SB 1’s tax increases and fee schedules from the state appropriations limit.
CBS47 said they contacted Caltrans about its report to delete the widening projects on Highway 99. A spokesperson said she hadn’t seen the report. California State Transportation Agency released a statement regarding this report:
“The state is confronting the climate crisis head on. In doing so, Caltrans will use available transportation dollars to prioritize projects that manage congestion and reduce vehicle miles traveled in order to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Those who claim the state is canceling projects funded by gas tax dollars are incorrect. Aligning climate goals with transportation goals requires new thinking, not obstructionism. With the long lead time to plan, design, and construct transportation projects, we must act now to achieve our climate goals.”
CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY DAVID S. KIM
Lastly, in what appears to target mostly Republican districts, Gov. Newsom also said in the press statement, “Moving away from internal combustion engines is critical to reduce carbon emissions and to address major pollution issues across the state, especially in the Central Valley and Inland Empire.”
“CARB shall strengthen existing or adopt new regulations to achieve greenhouse gas reductions within the transportation sector.”
“This is worse than a shell game or bait-and-switch,” Patterson said on his Facebook page. “It is taxpayer theft by executive order. Promise voters that road taxes will fix our highways and streets, then siphon off $5 billion for his Climate Change plan – a new scheme to get us to give up our cars.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone after all Newsom did try to steal $331 million from homeowners in California and the courts had to order him to return it. Speaks volumes about Newsom’s character none of it good.
how about a recall of a government
that overrules the people?
Its started.
https://recallnewsom.us/
There’s one going on right now to Re-call Pretty Boy. Sign it and get him out. The same is happening in Oregon. They’re turning in petitions for next Monday’s deadline. It looks like it has a good shot at getting on the ballot
We have to do the same here. We can no longer afford the luxury of a far-left radical democrat Governor and his pet legislature.
Amen and thank you!
#RecalNewsom for his poor judgement
Already mailed mine and husband’s in. We handed out several petitions to family. We need more grass roots petition tables to get word out. I’m too old and disabled but I hope younger adults will help out.
I totally agree, this governor is all about his pet projects and not a pet people that he supposed to represent the people that voted him in to office what a shame. Governor Newsom needs to be recalled.
Recalls are only for Republican’s who win elections!
That doesn’t make sense. The last governor to be tasked was Grey Davis, a Democrat. Over vehicle fees.
David also lost $100,000,000.00 in the Texas energy trade deal.
There is a legal petition. Search your area and go sign it. The ones online are no good.
Long overdue!
Long overdue -Recall.
How about we discover what the candidate is going to do before we vote for them. Maybe we will not need to recall them. We just won’t elect them in the first place. The governor indicated his plan to increase taxes before he was elected.
“We” (some of us anyway) knew what Newsom was before he was elected, and therefore didn’t vote for him. Apparently you democrats have been fully successful importing hordes of dependent democrat voters from south of the border and around the world.
yes sounds like a great idea. Get rid of these people that serve their own interest. Out with Newshit, I mean Newsom.
What is happening with our recall petitions? We want him out. He was voted in by ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Well, the Democrats voted this fool in, when a vote for the Right would have gotten a team who would NOT have done this kind of grafting/theft Newsom is doing. They voted in the Gas Tax to make this grafting/theft happen, put Newsom in the driver’s seat. The Right fought that tooth-and-nail too. Maybe Democrats should vote for who will do the best job rather than blindly support their Party, i.e., the Party of grafting, theft, pork-barrel projects, and ignoring their constituency.
How do some politicians become millionaires? Well, they have pork barrel projects, i.e. “Bullet train” where they can choose which contractor is willing to kick down large some’s of money to allow them to become the builder of the project! Simple as that. Period!!!
I strongly suspect that is the source of the “OBAMA” wealth, America’s Idi Amin.
Kickbacks that he received from his election bundlers lucrative taxpayer financed ‘GREEN ENERGY’ contracts which then went bankrupt generated millions for the Obama crime family, while VP Biden had his own family scams operating in China and Russia.
Yes, the swamp certainly needs to be drained, and post haste.
It’s pretty obvious he’s getting hush money.Our roads that tax payers finance are bad,really bad when you think a bullet train is more important than millions of commuters and their safety is not as important as a bullet train with a 150 passengers on it going to LA for the weekend.The sheriff of Knottingham has got to go.!!! It’s blaten disregard of the people of California’s vote. He’s common senseless..Ring Leader of 3 ring circus.
It’s very important to sign the recall petition to get this Jackass out of office
Yes. Jerry Brown left California with a surplus what gives #Newsom the right to use the gas tax funds for his own project. Bye bye #Newsom
Jerry Brown DIDN’T leave CA with a surplus. He only changed the bookkeeping to exclude state pensions obligations from the calculations
If people would have voted no on the gas tax this is a non issue….
Why would any sane person vote for higher taxes or bonds?
Misleading Title and Summary fooled enough voters to prevent this theft.
Actually that was Gov. Brown
“State government received $410 million and initially set aside $331 million to educate homeowners and give them legal help. But instead, then-Gov. Jerry Brown (2012) and the Legislature spent most of the money paying off state debts from housing bonds.”
Who profits? Those who profit should pay for the infrastructure. Utilities do, corporations do, even churches do. Again, who profits?
recall the crooked bastard. he never should have been elected.
Now he is going to repeal prop 13 for home owners and raise taxes for All. This will mean I can’t afford to keep my home I have owned for 45 years. For renters the rent will go up to offset the tax. We will be forced to leave California. Reduce taxes move out of California. Than who will pay for his special projects.VOTE NO ON PROP 13. Read carefully before you vote
Yep he’s all about putting it in his pocket
This cronyist bastard needs to be recalled! I am going to love watching this state crumble finacially as we the hard working, middle class taxpayers tell the money whore Democrats to shove it as we leave this state.
Good article.
I’ve forwarded this to our reporter Erik Rosales.
He may reach out to you.
Thank you.
Thank you Ken.
Is it time to start referring to high speed rail as Newsome’s Folly? He had a chance to stop it, but now seems to be doubling down on replacing roads with even more rail projects.
Wow
California voters are getting exactly the government they voted for. Elections have consequences and an electorate that’s indifferent, ignorant or unable to make rational decisions will soon be swamped in poverty, crime and a very bleak future.
Well said, California voters are getting EXACTLY what they voted for!
I personally didn’t vote for this corrupt politician!
I didnot vote for any of this nor did I vote for this Governor .
Seriously, what are the voter’s thinking of?
Think about it, they are voting for higher taxes.
Why, because all the taxes they already pay have given them so much.
Idiots.
Not ever Californian voted for him. We have an influx of illigals voting also. We need to split the state at the SFGG Bridge. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA and Southern California. I cant even begin to tell you what its like to TAKE THE TIME TO VOTE ONLY TO HAVE BABYMAN NEWSOM …CHANGE IT TO SERVE HIMSELF. This State isnt going to hell, its there!
Isn’t there still an issue in regards to billions of dollars missing of federal funding for rail and other projects?
Someone needs to be held accountable for that before spending more taxpayers money. In my opinion.
This guy’s a real piece of work. Everyday things like this make me glad all over again that I left California!
Agenda 21 / 2030 . They have plans for all of us .
Why not ask Newsom about him selling his signature on reference letters to colleges in California for $2,500 a pop? For kids he never met in his life. He did it numerous times while mayor of San Fran.
If you’re still living in California and Paying the Criminal Democrat Tyrants…. YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET…
IT’S NOT LIKE THIS HAPPENED OVERNIGHT !
This is just another example of democratic policy and the old, bait and switch game. We California’s must recall this govern and give the state back to republican rule. This guy is a must go. Recall Newsome Now
I will not run I will fight for change
Kalifornia has so many problems. All caused by our biggest problem, the political dictatorship in this state. I am all in on a rail system. If it is run by the private sector without our tax dollars. Private toll roads may also be a solution?
Kali Democrats have always had a way of misappropriating earmarked funds. It’s in the party’s DNA. They also become extremely rich in doing it. Of course, Newsome will get what he wants with the full backing of his Sorosian eunuchs in the state legislature.
Is THIS an impeachable offense under the CA constitutiom…
This guy is PURE SLIME….
You are sadly mistaken. We did not vote blue… The voter fraud did. Truth is…our vote no longer matters.
Bingo!
So true!
California is going to be used in 2020 as a poster child to guarantee republicans retake the house and add senate seats. The state is crumbling, and taxpayers are fleeing. The population is steady only because the poor are replacing them.
This state has turned its political power over to special interests, gangs, homeless, illegal aliens, and drugs. Regular citizens have no voice. The entire state is financed by the liberals in Silicon Valley. Google now tells you what your social consciousness is.
It’s long past time to recall Newsom. Please sign the petition.
This news should make Californians even madder as they pull into a gas station and pay over $4 per gallon. If Newsom was truly concerned about pollution from so many cars on the road and so called climate change, why then did he OK drivers licenses for illegals so we have millions of more cars on our roads?
because you can use a drivers licenses as identification at the polls; thus making it easier for illegals to vote.
Probably because they were already on the road
Sad that voters keep voting to tax everything that sounds too too good, approve new foolish bonds, elect raging naive inexperienced politicians, reward the failed education and social welfare kabals.
The one and only thing that will stop this travesty of justice is to recall Governor Newsom and STOP HIM NOW ! PLEASE SIGN THE *** GOVERNOR NEWSON RECALL PAPERS *** ===== ranaf.org Please do it now… this is our very last chance to stop this corruption. There are sites everywhere – look up your county and make a difference. Sitting back and thinking that this will be done by others will cause it to fail. If you really care – sign the RECALL now! Please ! !
Thank You for this reporting. I could not find this information anywhere else. Please send the link to this article to everyone.
This Journalism.
This is the WORST Governor in the history of CA. A completely dishonest and corrupt politician. He needs to be recalled and his bad policies reversed. Vote this slime out!
Pelosi puppet, among the others.
Agreed, it’s scary that he will run for President soon!
Guess we will have to increase the gas tax again to fix he roads, Ha Ha
Well the people of California keep electing Democrats let them live with it.
I Will sit outside the San Diego courthouse soon with table and chair and hopefully get 1,000 signatures. Newsome act amounts to theft and he should be arrested. This guy is a CRIMINAL.
Only idiots voted for this professional con man.
Who the heck does he think he is? He is the one that needs to be impeached!
Has anyone started a recall drive?
Those who voted for him, go look in the Mirror, you are the problem in CA.
CO2 is not pollution!! Sheesh! I agree with above that he’s the worst Gov in my lifetime. But recall is going nowhere, face it. This reduce CO2 thing has gotten way out of hand. Let’s try to educate the “sheeple” more. How? I don’t know. Suggestions?
Just give it back to Mexico already! I packed up and left that run down State 4 years ago, and it was 4 years too late. Lived in San Diego, which turned into nothing but taco, upholstery, tire and car repair shops – with all speaking Spanish. You have to admit, if you have lived there for any amount of years, it is no longer the beautiful state it was. LA and SF are a cesspool of needles and human feces. Sickening. But those with money will still tuff it out, and you can bet the Hollywood elites are not affected one bit. Anyway – good luck! Keep those cars aligned!
I would like to know if we, the taxpayers, can take him to court and sue the state with how they are abusing the gas tax law. The wording was specific…..repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and highways…….not combating greenhouse gases. I do believe if he wants to combat greenhouse gas, then he needs to submit another bill for us to vote on……again, we are at the point to where those who are supposed to represent us are instead trying to rule us…….that didn’t go so well for those rulers over 200 years ago………………
Thank you for a reasonable comment! Keep the gas tax fixing the roads, which is why it was voted into law. If you want to reduce emissions, incentives for EVs makes more sense than railroads or taking licenses (which requires knowledge of laws plus insurance, making our roads safer) from those already driving, legally here or not.
This is what you get for leadership when free-loaders vote!
Never give an addict money….Never give a Democrat money….
Gavin Newsom, a chip off the ol’ Nancy Pelosi, block! #RecallGavinNewsom
The gas tax is now going to help the Rail trans Feinstein’s husband high speed train project. Corruption for sure
Old news and nothing is going to be done about a thief in office. Politicians are all crooks and the Populus is screwed. what do you expect from the Pelosi ” crooks are us” clan. DemoRats need to be fed rat poison.
Maybe they voters will finally wake up and realize that a democrat is always going to lie and do exactly what they want. They are not for the people, they are for themselves!
I blame the idiot voters for NOT repealing the gas tax. The state should not get any more taxes UNTIL they prove they will in fact fix our roads. Time to repeal the gas tax next election.
The new wisdom is that the population will expand forever and the number of cars will expand forever along with the population and enough roads for them all cannot ever be built unless all of California is paved over. Better to build more public transportation to replace all the cars and still get people to where they need to go. I agree, especially after driving from San Diego to L.A. today. It was horribly congested all the way. There can never be enough lanes.
FU you liberal piece of trash. How can you constantly give away my hard earned money for your little pet projects.
This is the reason I cannot support any tax increases. The politicians cannot be trusted. This game has been played by them over and over on us so many times – and we still fall for it. Every time the words roads, clean water, firemen or nurses are used to tug at our heartstrings we vote for a tax increase only to later discover that the funds are being diverted to some politicians favorite project.

The gas tax was passed by California State Legislature & signed by Newsom. The vote on the ballot was to repeal the gas tax they imposed. If you voted yes, you did not want the tax. If you voted no, it was a vote FOR the tax. See what they did?

And they want to impeach Trump! Newsom is the one who needs to be impeached, he does what ever he wants and not what the people want
With the recent fires throughout the state,sections of land are now cleared of houses,businesses,schools,wildlife trees,grasses,etc Please lok up a new version of State Of Ca & the pet project of Nerdsom being the high-speed bullet train,showing the corridor for the most expensive train line in the world! See what alot of people see??? The fires from past few years,along with the most recent,line-up exactly together! Coincidence? Q says there are no coincidences!! Nerdsom has learned his lying,thieving ways from dear Auntie Knucklehead Nancy!! (Pelosi)
Just wanted everyone infuriated by this lying thieving son of a bitch to be on the same sheet of music! Know what I mean? I say forget the recall efforts- IMPEACH THE BASTARD NOW!!! PUT HIS ASS IN JAIL OR UNDER HOUSE ARREST,AT THE VERY LEAST! If that doesn’t happen soon,I fear for the safety of the ‘merry little band of thieving’ Legislatures & Gov! The criminals have Their guns,the mentally disturbed do,as well!
Rails are the future, wether you recognize that or not, this is a step in the right direction.
Rails are from the past. Steam trains and santa fe/union Pacific. There is no way that a high speed rail can deliver from north State to south State with all of the stops and be beneficial. If you believe it does then you need to recheck the math. Electromagnetic trains will not get the mass of people from all over to any group of destinations within a desirable timeline. It’s impossible and they know it. It’s basically a sludge fund with misappopriated monies being siphoned off for them bastards to keep their peckers wet.
Yeah just ask a Bum
This bonehead has got to be removed from office IMMEDIATELY his decisions are NOT what Californians want and the rail project has been thought thru for many years and it’s been too expensive and taking gas taxes from one point to another to better serve Gavin is a bonehead idea! His decisions are not good ideas or well planned – He does not work for the Californians he needs to be taken out of office IMMEDIATELY!!
Our GOVENOR is common senseless.How could a bullet train carrying 150 people be more important than millions of tax payers driving on bad roads every single day to go to work to pay taxes on a train.???? Little Hitler playing the role of the sheriff of Knottingham.
Next the gas tax will go up another dollar to hep pay medical expenses for illegal Aliens.
Another laughable theft of tax money at the hands of the most ridiculous fools to screw up a state aka the liberal democRats
This Gavin Newsome dude is related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D’Angelo) whom is said to have direct ties to a New York City Crime Family…..I word iy thid wsy because all the sudden i am no longe able to find the link about her father and her husbands father, now it just goes through his poitical career, but as. For Mr Pelosi some one put up a map of his high speed rail from LA to SanFran and coincidently enough it followed the same exact route as did those horrible brush fires we had here, recall also a littke jail time for fraud,embezzling, grand larcene, and possible Treason……Wheres my rope
Just remember the Recall is due soon and the recall online is not, I repeat Not a valid signature. you must fill out a hard copy. Cap Tactical in Lawndale is one location in So Calif. you can fill it out. The recall forms are due to be filed in February.
Please note stay with in the lines of the box you are signing in, as they may very well throw out the entire petition you just signed. So if you have a wild signature keep it inside the box!
All the Counties listed that funds are be redirected from are Republican Districts.
“Deprive them until they vote Democrat.” “Will show those dirty little Republicans who voted for Trump.” Shady!
Yet we’re still not worried about the homeless crisis, poo and needles on street corners and rats infestation, spreading disease in our major cities?
Blah! Guess will still believe the Earth is flat and OJ is innocent? At Epstein didn’t kill himself last year.
Live with the sleaze bag politicians u elected…no sympathies from here
Most Donkeys make funny sound HEE HAW HEE HAW the liberal Democratic Donkey gose OINK OINK OINK
Newsom need to go!!!!J
Newsome is the worst kind of politician, a THEIF! He needs to go!
This is not the only. “monies” that are not being used as was voted on. Several years back, Californian voters voted “yes” and passed a similar bill. The Bill was to raise DMV fees for the purpose of funding street and road repairs within California cities. I have driven through a lot of cities and towns over the past few years and have not seen any repairs being done.
Bullet train will be awesome during power outages oh shit. Or do we burn diesel? In short dems are communist bastards no BFD don’t worry it won’t take Hiden Biden to long to blow everything else to hell. Oh but wait he has to give Kamala and Nancy the nuke codes WTF!! Line all three of them up together add their IQs together. It will be about 30, that might be a little high.
