Joe Robach’s State Gas Tax Suspension Receiving Bi-Partisan Support!

A contact just called me to say that the State Senate is voting right now on Joe Robach’s bill to suspend New York State’s taxes on gasoline.  Despite all the naysayers, including one of our own State Assemblymembers and Democrat political party boss Joe Morelle, who apparently don’t want to help struggling seniors and working families, the kicker is Robach’s bill is actually getting bi-partisan support from Senators on both sides of the aisle.  How about that?

As you recall, Robach held a press conference recently announcing his bill to eliminate the state taxes for the summer, stating that the measure would save families $.32 a gallon.  The feds are talking about doing the same thing on the national level which could increase the savings to $.50 a gallon.  Figures show that it could save citizens anywhere from $55-$150 over this period of time.  I know my friends and family who are not earning Dan Gunderson’s high end salary of $175,000 a year sure as heck can use this break, and so can I.

We’ll keep you posted on the outcome of the bill.
