WASHINGTON – Congressman Antonio Delgado, Friday, asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to immediately consider legislation to temporarily suspend the gas tax. He was joined by Rep. Tom O’Halleran (D, AZ-1) the lead sponsor of the Gas Prices Relief Act, in sending a letter to Pelosi that also encouraged the speaker to work with President Biden to take additional emergency steps to lower costs and secure American energy independence.
“As New Yorkers continue to feel the strain of higher prices at the pump and on their home heating bills, we must use every tool available to lower these costs,” said Delgado. “That’s why I am calling on Congress to immediately consider legislation to suspend the federal gas tax and take other steps to lower energy prices.”
New York State Government has just included in its 2022-23 budget a rollback in the state gas sales tax.
