Question sparked by comment on this post....

For instance: if the Trump admin. 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 ~~the~~ change?

Is this something the Governor could do unilaterally, or would it take legislative action?

Legally speaking I don’t know the answer but I think this would work best if a significant portion of coastal states would implement this together. California is big and does have an impact on its own, but all the blue states together could have a huge effect on overseas commerce.

That said, I could see congress interfering since this would clearly be an interstate commerce issue. Whether they will have the votes I don’t know.
