California Senate Committee Stands up to Big Oil, Passes SB 1017

 The California State Senate Committee on Education stood up to the big money of Big Oil and took a step forward in the fight to end California’s status as the only oil and gas producing state in the nation to not tax the extraction of energy resources. SB 1017 could raise more than 2 billion dollars for California’s underfunded public universities and community colleges, devastated health and human services programs, and state parks.
