@emily_hoeven @GavinNewsom SCOOP! The travel ban applies to using state funds. The Governor’s travel is not being paid by the state. Connecting the two is an attempt at gotcha journalism that is neither gotcha nor journalism. The governor is on a vacation with his family. He will return later this week

Since California moved to winter blend gasoline, we saw the largest ever single day drop in wholesale prices that refineries pay for gas. But prices at the pump are EXACTLY THE SAME. It doesn’t add up. Oil companies are ripping you off.
