the national average the average price nationally is $3.40 a gallon in california. it's 477 aaa says the highest price in the bay area is in napa at $5.10 a gallon gas companies made record profits in california over the last few months and governor newsom has called on lawmakers to approve a price gouging penalty for oil companies abc 7 news. anchor liz kreitz is in the newsroom with the story liz. hi, dan. yes. the governor has just released his proposal which he introduced with bay area state. senator nancy skinner the plan as you mentioned would create a price gouging penalty for oil companies. it would also expand requirements for transparency. it's an effort. the governor says to force oil companies to lower the cost of gas. in a special legislative session at the state capitol governor gavin newsom unveiled his proposal to address california's high gas prices the plan would create a price gouging penalty on oil companies that the state deems to have access profits.

he would also expand the energy commissions authority to investigate oil companies pricing and the information that oil companies will be required to report to the state. it's completely unfair to california's for these companies to essentially be price gouging to be charging california's whatever they pop they want and putting all that money in their pocket san francisco assembly member matt haney attended the special session. please be seated after gas prices hit more than $6 a gallon over the summer the governor initially proposed a windfall tax on oil companies chris. mckayley a veterans sacramento lobbyists said the new call for a penalty fee as opposed to attacks is likely a way to prevent needing a super majority vote in the legislature if something is truly a t then it is an exception and therefore only requires a majority vote the governor can call it whatever he wants but when you pose a fee upon an industry, that's a tax. kevin slagle is a spokesperson for the western states petroleum

association, which represents the major oil companies operating in california. he says the penalty will only hurt consumers and blames the high gas prices on a number of factors. it's a result of market forces of supplying demand of the global markets. until the caused by things like the war and you in ukraine, but you berkeley high school of business professor. severin borenstein says those arguments. don't license. 20 extra 30 or 40 cents more per gallon than other states even after adjustments for taxes and environmental fees what i call the mystery gasoline surcharge. so the question is, where's that money going? why did this appear in 2015? and is it a competition problem or is it some sort of regulatory cost? and the governor says it's price gouging so as for the penalty he is proposing the maximum amount of profits and oil company would be allowed and the amount that the penalty would be those have

not been included in this initial proposal. they say that will be determined through the legislative process lawmakers are likely to begin discussions and voting on this plan next year in the newsroom liz croix abc 7 news. well is obviously or a company's pushing back hard on this but how do they explain their record profits this year while gas prices were so high right? and i asked that of the lobbying group that represents the oil companies dan their answer is essentially that high demand brings high profits. they say when there's low demand like during covid there were low profits. so they essentially see this as a supply and demand issue that led to the in some places seven dollars a gallon prices that we are seeing here in the bay area liz. thanks very much. not long ago. all right supreme court. justice is sparred and their latest case that pits free speech rates against laws designed to protect americans from discrimination. yeah during oral arguments today the conservative majority sounded sympathetic to a wedding website designer who refuses to do business with gay couples abc news reporter m win as the story.

the supreme court's conservative majority signaled support to the plaintiff christian. graphic artists lori smith who refuses to design wedding websites for gay couples on account of her religious beliefs as a christian. i believe that marriage just between one man and one woman the polarizing case out of colorado involves smith saying that working on an lgbtq themed project violates her principles and constitutional right to free speech. show me a page on that website. that is an endorsement of a marriage as opposed to the story of a couple justice is questioned whether smith would be expressing her views or those of only the couple same-sex couples say they deserve equal treatment from businesses open to the public under colorado's anti-discrimination act if you're open to the public you need to accommodate everybody. that's a core of our civil rights law if justice is side with the state smith's supporters say it would allow the government to force artists to express messages contrary to

their beliefs if smith wins analysts say businesses will be able to discriminate refusing black people in interracial couples among others, but some conservative justices challenge that point do you think it's fair to equate opposition to same-sex marriage with opposition to interracial marriage this case follows a similar one four years ago when the court ruled narrowly in favor of a colorado baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex couple citing religious objections. the supreme court's ruling could have a sweeping effect across many industries that offer public services. we're expecting a decision sometime next year and when abc news, washington jimmy g is out for the season and nike says just don't the four four is

overdraft assist from chase. four we have chris and san diego joining us today. we'll start with the 49ers boy. they're super bowl hopes now rest in the hands of a quarterback. you may have never heard of before with yesterday's season ending injury to starting quarterback. jimmy garoppolo. ricky brock purdy will now take over pretty began the season as the third stringer behind garoppolo and trey lance. he was the last pick in this year's nfl draft the last pick but he did guide the niners to a win yesterday after garoppolo's injury, which was terrible to see but you think chris? you're going to me on this.

i think the 49ers they have a good chance to still win with brock pretty obviously an injury to jimmy garoppolo. not anything anyone to see you what you really feel bad for jimmy g. but the way the niners are set up the quarterback isn't the main star of the team. there's a complementary piece. they have so many weapons if he can just do the some of the same things jimmy did as far as getting the ball out to some of their playmakers they have an amazing defense. they could go a long way but he is a rookie and other teams are gonna adjust but he did have a good game and he showed some swag. i like to see the swaggy had he's a comforting kid in the niners like that. that is so interesting. i mean, but what tough breaks they've had this year losing two quarterbacks now, but interesting that their system is set up that way. all right. well mikey is ending it's business relationship with basketball star kyrie irving irving's signature shoe was one of nike's biggest sellers. this move comes after irving posted on instagram about a movie containing false conspiracies about jewish people then he was slow to disavow anti-semitic beliefs expressed irving. sense apologized. sandy would come to you in a minute, but chris first to you as our sports guy.

what do you think? you know it did take a long time to deal with this? yeah. it's i think too little too late as far as kyrie with the apologies and the way things have gone. he's kind of had a weird tenure over the last four or five years of some of the things he's either said or not said in some messages he promotes so nike cutting their ties with him is no surprise to me at all. yeah and sandy, i'll let you weigh in just a necessary specifically, but just this of it you increasingly when people stumble into something. they shouldn't or express something that is is racist or inappropriate. the consequences can be pretty strict now. yeah, absolutely and i don't think that there's any room for it in this day and age, i think that they, you know, obviously have to take responsibility, but you can't go there. i mean, i just think it was poor judgment on his part and the fact that he waited so long like chris said dan is obviously not good just dumb. i mean, it's inexplicable. really? yeah, there was a time when my kiddo wanted kyrie irving shoes and you know, i said no because they were a hundred dollars, but

creating a space to match your taste has never been easier. more and more people are shopping online and unfortunately, that means more people are trying to steal your information for her everywhere today. the fbi issued a reminder to stay vigilant in abc 7 news. anchor karina. nova is in the newsroom with more on how we can do that green. yeah. it's so important the holidays are here and so are those criminals they're looking to cash in while you shop online and there is a warning from the fbi because this time of year, they're out to get your money while you're shopping online for the holidays and they want you to watch out for these criminals who have scammed people out of 200 million dollars this year already. the fbi says it's best to use credit cards when shopping online don't wire money directly to a seller and know who you're buying from or selling too to

make sure the sale is legitimate and secure a simple tip to know is that the website should have https in the web address and it's not just buyers getting scammed. sellers are also being targeted. the two most common that we see here in the san francisco bay area are non-delivery scams and non-payment scams. a non-delivery scam is just what it sounds like somebody will be shopping online. they'll pay for something, but they won't receive a product victimizing the consumer the non-delivery. the non-payment scam is the exact opposite the non-payment scam victimizes the vendor somebody will attempt to purchase an item the vendor will ship the item, but the consumer who's actually a froster won't make payment. so much of that going on and the fbi says if an offer seems too good to be true. it probably is if you happen to get scammed you should immediately call your bank or your credit card. sometimes you can dispute a charge and the fbi asks no matter how small of a loss that you report it to their internet

crime complaint center in the newsroom karina nova abc 7 news, they like to track it. thank you karina another frustration for holiday shoppers are those holiday shopping bots. they make a nearly impossible to buy those hot ticket items jason kent with sequence security has some tips to help you beat the bots and protect yourself this holiday season if you want to beat the bots my recommendation is to go to the website the day before the big sale is supposed to happen and add one item to your cart. it doesn't matter you're going to take that item out later. it doesn't matter what it is, but that builds your cart. you're now one step ahead of the bots then when the item is available to you add it to your and check out immediately. don't do any more additional shopping because those precious seconds while you're waiting to get to check out they're already there and they're already getting their transaction taken care of the second piece of advice i give people is to make sure that you have good authentication for the website you're buying from so have a

good password on there because bots are also trying to get logged into your account and use your account as the account that makes the purchase so if you can enable two factor authentication, that's a great idea, but make sure you have a good password set up on those sites. that's a good tip for every website. you visit have a strong password and use that to factor authentication whenever possible. that's a good idea to do it. i've done it sometimes but not always because it seems like a hassle. that's just so important. all right, let's go back to the weather. right. we got more rain coming this week. that's for sure sandia. yeah, absolutely. and right now i want to show you a pretty picture dan and kristen from cal nevada lodge. you can see there's snow on the ground right now. they are chaining up on all roads leading up to tahoe as live doppler 7 is tracking snow falling across the region a winter weather advisory is up until 4 am tomorrow. they're looking at eight to 12 inches of additional snow, of course higher on the peaks and the snow levels between 4,000 and 4500 feet statewide the
