Gavin Newsom's 'price gouging' shtick is running on empty

Summary

California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently posted a 60-second video explaining to Californians the reason for sky-high gas prices.

Ruben Navarrette : His main evidence: Oil company profits hit record highs as California gas prices soared.

He says there is no "gouging" in a competitive market; prices are determined by supply and demand; prices rise by demand.

Newsom touted a new state law to help battle price gouging, but his own government policies are the root of the problem.

Still, the facts are the facts. It's sad but true that X readers have a far better grasp of the state's high gas prices than the governor. This column was first published in The Orange County Register ..
