Blumenthal Statement After General Assembly Approves Temporary Suspension of State Gas Tax

Date: March 23, 2022
Location: Hartford, CT
Issues: Oil and Gas Taxes

"Connecticut residents and businesses continue to feel the pain at the pump and are struggling to make ends meet as a result of Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine. I applaud Governor Lamont and the Connecticut General Assembly for taking swift action to provide relief to families across the state by temporarily suspending Connecticut 25 cent excise tax on gas. Congress should follow Connecticut's lead and provide additional support to families across the country by taking immediate action to suspend the federal gas tax,"
