Gasoline prices near $4.50 a gallon amid the seven-month Iran war have intensified calls to suspend federal and state fuel taxes. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp suspended the state's gasoline and diesel taxes for 30 days, while Indiana and Ohio have moved ahead with emergency fuel-tax relief measures. Michigan's Senate is scheduled to consider a 90-day suspension of the state's 52.4-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax as average fuel costs hover near $4.60. Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks expressed openness to the proposal, while House Democrats proposed using the Rainy Day Fund to replace the estimated $600 million shortfall for infrastructure maintenance. Republican House Speaker Matt Hall called the plan politically unserious without a negotiated replacement for road funding, but said the House would vote if the Senate passes it. Nationally, AAA reported an average gasoline price of $4.43 a gallon Wednesday, while lawmakers including Sen. Mark Kelly and Rep. Chris Pappas have proposed suspending federal fuel taxes. Analysts caution that tax holidays may yield limited consumer savings and deepen transportation-funding gaps.
