WASHINGTON — Serious talk has begun in Washington and among governors about suspending the 18.4 cent a gallon federal gasoline tax this year.
Rep. Josh Harder, D-Turlock, calls doing so his top priority. Seven Democratic senators up for reelection are behind the idea.
The White House won’t rule it out. Asked if the administration was considering waiving the gasoline tax, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said “There are a range of options on the table.”
