As the debate intensifies over California’s approach to gas price regulation, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has stepped into the fray, raising concerns that the proposed policies could negatively impact gas prices beyond California’s borders. In correspondence addressed to California Governor Gavin Newsom, Gov. Hobbs, along with Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, implored Newsom to reconsider legislation that could potentially upend the gas supply dynamics in the region. Fox 10 Phoenix reported that this legislation is aimed at regulating oil refineries’ inventory levels to avoid price spikes.
