Rosario Lozano stopped working about three months ago. “I had to stop working to take care of her (infant) and take care of my three year old in the car,” Lozano said. That’s about the time gas prices started to rise again, and California saw gas prices that were $2.60 more than the national average in October . “I just stopped going a lot of places. I would stay home for a while.” Like the California Energy Commission, which couldn’t point to exactly why prices are so much higher in California in a hearing they held earlier this week, Lozano can’t either. She does know however, that if it’s malicious, she wants something done. “If they do take advantage of that, they should be punished for doing that," Lozano said. "Affecting other people's money." That’s exactly what Governor Gavin Newsom wants. His special session to make it happen starts on Monday, but Monday is also the start of the regular organizational session. So lawmakers will have a lot to of other things to get to, including swearing in each new member individually and electing the leaders of the party.
