North Carolina Debates Suspending Its Gas Tax
Original: Politics At The Pump: Will NC Suspend Gas Tax
North Carolina is weighing whether to suspend its state gas tax as prices at the pump strain drivers' budgets. The debate has become a political flashpoint, with lawmakers split over relieving consumers now versus protecting revenue that funds road and infrastructure projects. Similar suspensions in other states have fueled the pressure on North Carolina officials to act.
Why now: High fuel prices have made gas tax relief a live political issue in the state.
