Gas prices strain Shafter residents as tax relief stalls
Shafter residents face rising fuel costs with weekly budgets strained by high gas prices. Democrats in Sacramento oppose a proposed AB 1706 tax cut, which would remove the gasoline sales tax and offer immediate relief, while critics like Briggs argue residents would benefit from surplus funds. Local drivers report hardship to travel to Bakersfield and nearby areas as City Manager Guinn warns relief may not come soon.
