House GOP Pushes Gas Tax Cut To Senate
In an election year move, House Republicans advanced a suspension of part of the federal gasoline tax. The 301-108 vote Tuesday would cut the tax by 4.3 cents per gallon through December 31, briefly restoring it to pre-1993 levels and hinting at further cuts. Some Democrats praised the measure. others denounced it as political gimmick. Rep. John Edward Porter criticized the bill as cynical. Forecasters predicted gasoline prices could drop by up to 6 cents by Independence Day absent further action.
