Welcome to

The Governor’s plan for a statewide gas tax holiday ran out of fuel. Governor Charlie Crist urged the legislature to reduce the state’s gas tax by 10 cents for two weeks in July. Many lawmakers opposed the plan because of the budget shortfall and the millions the state would lose. Crist says he hasn’t given up hope for a gas tax break just because the state legislative session ended.

“I wish they could have done that, but maybe they’ll do it on the national level,” said Crist.

Presidential Candidates Senator John McCain and Senator Hillary Clinton both support suspending the federal gas tax this summer.
