Support the 2-month federal gas tax suspension. Working families are getting squeezed at the pump every single week, and this is a direct, immediate way to put money back in their pockets. A temporary suspension of the 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal gas tax would give real relief to the people who can least afford to absorb these costs. This isn't a handout — it's returning money to the workers who commute long distances, drive for a living, or simply have no alternative to a car. Two months of relief won't fix everything, but it buys breathing room while longer-term solutions are worked out. Vote yes on the gas tax suspension.
