Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : In contrast, Newsom's CARB expansion would grant California's administrative state -- and the governor -- greater financial power to impose de facto taxes, bypassing legislative oversight and undermining the constitutional "power of the purse" reserved for the legislature.
25% : California's Legislative Analyst's Office is urging lawmakers to reject Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposal to grant state regulators broad authority to impose climate fees, citing a lack of justification and excessive delegation of legislative power.
