New York suspends 16-cent gas tax starting today through the end of the year. elijahwestbrook has the details:
"Everything this going up, but your salary. So it's really challenging to make ends meet these days," one driver told CBS2. On Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk counties have decided not to tax any amount on gas spent over $3 a gallon. This will last until the end of the year.
"We're giving something back to our residents," Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said last month."We just decided, let's take a regional approach." "It will give people a sense, and this is important as well, that government is taking action," Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone added. Rockland County is doing the same, except it will not tax anything over $2 a gallon until Feb. 2023. Right now, the average price of regular gas in New York hovers around $4.93.
