Speaker Rivas’ Statement on Lowering Energy Costs

SACRAMENTO, CA— Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas) issued the following statement regarding the lowering of energy costs:

“The Assembly has been ready to stop skyrocketing prices at the gas pump and deliver significant relief to Californians to lower their monthly energy bills. We shared our affordability legislative proposals in June, and we’re on the same page with Governor Newsom about the absolute urgency of getting this done. If the Governor calls a special session, we’re going to do the work and deliver results. What I’m not going to do is push through bills that haven’t been sufficiently vetted with public hearings. Doing so could lead to unintended consequences on Californians’ pocketbooks.”
