Great news for Barstow.
Early next year, @goSBCTA and the @CityofBarstow will start construction on a new First Avenue Bridge. Construction is expected to take two years and the current bridge will remain in place until the new bridge is completed. https://t.co/WshVN9An3W

Today, @AsmRepublicans and @SenateRepCaucus formally asked the Legislature to return to Sacramento from recess to lower gas prices and fix other crises. #CADeservesBetter Here's what Legislative Republicans had to say 🧵:

In response to the fentanyl crisis, and our recent murder filings against alleged fentanyl dealers, next month we will be launching our DA Awareness Campaign & Trainings (ACT) which can be utilized by any school, parents or teachers in effort to save young lives.
Impactful morning yesterday attending The annual San Bernardino County Gangs and Drugs Task Force Safety Summit! Special thanKs to @sbcountysheriff, @RSO @SBCprobation @stoptheVOID for tackling topics like the fentanyl epidemic, gangs, and the uptick in crime.

Under the Democratic supermajority we have experienced a rise in violent crime, an increase in homelessness (despite billions spent), and the highest-in-the-nation gas prices. Republicans call on the Legislature to return to Sacramento to solved these pressing issues.

Capitol Democrats cannot deflect away from this reality: Their policy decisions are causing high gas prices.

CA is one of the only places where gas prices are skyrocketing, almost $2.60 more than the rest of the country. Capitol Dems have been crippling our energy infrastructure for DECADES and now we are literally paying the price. #CADeservesBetter

California gas prices hit highs as refinery issues affect supplies. The volatility highlights vulnerabilities of the state's transitioning energy market.

Sunday marked 200 days since Capitol Democrats promised gas price relief. Yet we're still paying $6+ at the pump with no relief! Policies passed by the Democrat super-majority in Sacramento are responsible for your high costs.

Newsom and the Supermajority passed their "inflation relief" bill months ago yet waited until right when ballots go out to send the checks. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
