The US Oil & Gas Association pushed back over a windfall profits tax bill proposed by Congressman Ro Khanna, arguing the legislation would do nothing to lower prices and instead encouraged California Democrats to “stand up” against Governor Gavin Newsom’s crippling green tax policies. “Stand up to your Governor. You know he is wrong and you can be on the right side of things,” the association said Saturday in a long winded post on X, adding that state-level taxes need to be suspended first in order to bring California prices in line with the national average.
