State Rep. Calls For Suspension Of State Gas Tax

WBZ's Gas Price Patrol

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Record gas prices are fueling a new push for a gas tax holiday in the Massachusetts.

Prices have shot up $3.63 a gallon, compared to $2.94 a gallon at this time last year.

State Representative Jeff Perry has filed a bill calling on the state to temporarily suspend the 21 cent state gas tax between July 1 and September 1.

The goal is to encourage more tourists to come to the Bay State – especially the Cape Cod during the height of the summer travel season.
