flag Maryland Republicans propose a 30-day gas tax pause to ease high fuel prices, sparking budget concerns and political opposition.

flag Maryland Republicans have introduced a 30-day gas tax pause to combat rising fuel prices, which hit $3.82 per gallon amid global oil disruptions from Middle East tensions. flag The proposal, modeled after a 2022 measure, could save drivers $7 per fill-up but may cost the state $100 million, sparking opposition from Governor Wes Moore’s administration, which warns of budget strain and urges addressing root causes. flag The bill faces hurdles in the Democratic-led legislature, with no public support yet from Democrats. flag Meanwhile, Connecticut’s similar gas tax holiday proposal remains stalled despite broad initial support, as lawmakers focus on competing tax relief plans.
