Gas Tax

On Monday, lawmakers joined other Republicans in calling for a temporary suspension of the gas tax. The plan already has the support of the Governor. You can read the whole story here from the News-Times.

The following are quotes from the article.

Governor Jodi Rell (R-CT) :

"Connecticut residents are fed up, they've had it with soaring costs
of gasoline and rightfully so. The time to act is now."

State Representative Jan Giegler (R-138):

"This moratorium will help businesses and ultimately help families
as well."

This is ultimately probably a pretty good idea. Until they are able to pass thorough legislation on this issue, this will definitely help solve the problem.
