Please make it stop! The ridiculous "gas tax holiday" scam is now going to the State level. State Rep. Joe Boylan, R-Moore, plans to formally introduce legislation on Monday, calling for suspending North Carolina's 30.2-cents-per-gallon gas tax for 90 days, beginning June 15. The measure would save drivers an estimated 75 dollars this summer at the pump. Well that's a little better savings than the Clinton/McCain idea. If we use North Carolina as an example, the combined Federal and State "gas tax holidays" would only save drivers 100 dollars this summer. Taking this revenue from Government coffers will only place stress on services such as road repair, and wind up being collected ultimately by raising another tax. What happens after the summer is over? This is not the long term solution that our Country needs, it's just politics. Wake up America, we suffer as our politicians continue to play games.
