Suspend The Gas Tax

Gas prices in Massachusetts have jumped in the past week, while home heating oil prices have also surged, placing new financial pressure on households already struggling with high housing, food, and utility costs. Families across Massachusetts are getting crushed by rising energy prices, and Beacon Hill’s response has been to do nothing. The state should immediately suspend the gas tax to give taxpayers and commuters some relief while prices remain this high. For years, Maura Healey and Beacon Hill climate activists have blocked new pipelines and energy infrastructure that would have made Massachusetts less vulnerable to global supply shocks. Now families are paying the price every time the world becomes unstable and energy costs spike. Brian Shortsleeve believes suspending the gas tax would provide immediate relief while Massachusetts rethinks its long-term energy policies. Tell Beacon Hill - NOW is the time to suspend the gas tax!
