States weigh gas tax holidays ahead of Election Day
Original: States consider gas tax holidays ahead of Election Day
Several US states are weighing temporary suspensions of their gasoline taxes, so-called gas tax holidays, as a way to ease fuel costs for drivers ahead of Election Day. The proposals come as pump prices remain a top economic concern for voters, and governors and lawmakers are weighing tax relief against the revenue those taxes fund for road and infrastructure projects.
Why now: Rising fuel prices are a key voter concern ahead of the midterm elections, and suspending gas taxes is a visible way for politicians to respond.
