The oil company refineries are used to manipulate the price of fuel.

We have to shut down for maintenance, we had an accidental fire, our refinery broke, the prices are higher because we are switching over to a different formula.

They are so full of crap. I'm sure part of it is manipulation to affect politics in this state. I guess they won because it seems Newsome has lost his will to fight. And half our legislature have their hands out for "gifts" via trips to wherever they can go. Idiots are taking their majority for granted.

Anyway, CA politicians, do something or give your job to somebody that will.
