Under new legislation signed Friday by Governor Jerry Brown, California motorists will pay higher gas and diesel taxes starting November 1, the LA Times reported Friday.

Opponents have launched a recall campaign against a senator and are talking about a possible initiative to roll back and control taxes and other fees.
