Hi John,

I've just published a new blog post:
[link removed] Incompetence
Meets Incompetence
<[link removed]>

Remember the Gas Tax Saga of 2022? With prices reaching $7 a gallon,
Newsom and the Supermajority pulled out all the stops to kill my gas tax
suspension bill. Now, there's an epilogue to the story that's even
more absurd than any of the chapters.

Facing public outrage over his opposition to my bill, last summer Newsom
came up with a "tax refund" scheme that he billed as "inflation
relief." Conveniently, the branded debit cards landed in mailboxes at
the same time as ballots.

Last week, 6.4 million Californians received another surprise in the
mail: 1099 forms designating these tax "refunds" as taxable

**income.**Meaning a chunk of the "gift" Newsom gave you out of the
state treasury would now have to go back to the federal treasury.

When the surprise 1099s arrived, I sent the IRS a letter

demanding guidance on whether the "refunds" were in fact taxable.
The IRS said they'd get to it this week, but they haven't. Instead,
they told Californians to hold off on filing tax returns until the
agency gets its act together.

This is what happens when incompetence meets incompetence. I've sent
another letter
<[link removed]>
blasting the IRS for the delay; as for Newsom, he better prepare for an
investigation into how, in his haste to mail out cash by Election Day,
he stuck Californians with extra federal taxes.

This whole mess would've been avoided if he'd just suspended the gas
tax. The silver lining is two Assemblymen who helped him kill it got
hammered over that vote when they ran for Congress last fall. They lost
their races and we won ours, assuring a GOP Majority in the House.  

Help me fight Newsom and Biden
