(The Center Square) – Gas prices, rising steadily over the last year and jumping dramatically since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, may not lead to a production spike, but the state and federal gas taxes could be paused to make the price shock less painful.
Gov. Tom Wolf, along with five other governors, sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to suspend the federal gas tax until the end of the year by passing the Gas Prices Relief Act. The legislation would suspend the gas tax and replace the tax revenue with dollars from the general fund.
