Today, Assemblyman Jeff Gallahan (R,C-Manchester) voted to suspend the state gas tax. The state excise and sales taxes will be suspended beginning June 1st and last six months ending on December 31st estimated to save taxpayers roughly $585 million during those 6 months. 

"Rising inflation and gas prices have left New Yorkers struggling to balance their home budgets,” said Gallahan. “This gas tax suspension is a major win and step in the right direction for upstate New Yorkers and who have been feeling the pain at the pump for too long.”
