(Harrisburg, Pa.) With gas prices hitting record highs across the country, some governors and state lawmakers are calling for a gas tax holiday.
Pennsylvania has the highest gas tax in the United States at 40 cents more per gallon than the national average and Republican State Senator Jake Corman is trying to push the Pa. legislation to reduce that tax by one-third for the rest of this year.
People who oppose Corman say that If a gas tax holiday does happen, money that goes to road and bridge repairs would be impacted and it wouldn’t make enough of a difference at the pump.
Supporters say that missing revenue can be offset with other money.
