Gas Tax Savings and More for CT Residents
March 23, 2022With gas prices still averaging more than $4 per gallon in Connecticut, today, I voted to suspend the 25-cents-a-gallon tax on gasoline for three-months from April 1 through June 30.

Session Update

Despite my opposition, the legislation still passed, and the provisions of the executive order will extend until June, though officials have the option of ending it before.
