Anyone here on c/law have thoughts on this?
Question sparked by comment on this post…
For instance: if the Trump administration tries to coerce CA to drop its climate change initiatives by cutting off federal highway funds, could port fees be increased to make up for the change?
Is this something the Governor could do unilaterally, or would it take legislative action?
This may work if there aren’t sufficient alternatives. They would need to get cooperation with other states, Canada, and Mexico to not undercut CA or at least not be able to handle the volume.
