Ohio lawmakers approve 90-day gas tax holiday ahead of election
Original: Ohio lawmakers approve 90-day gas tax holiday just weeks ahead of election
Ohio lawmakers have approved a 90-day suspension of the state's gas tax, with the measure signed off just weeks before the election. The holiday will temporarily lower prices at the pump for drivers across the state. Critics and observers are weighing whether the timing, so close to voters going to the polls, is aimed more at easing ballot-box pressure than at consumer relief.
Why now: The tax break lands weeks before an election, prompting questions about political timing.
