Governor Mike Braun announced on Thursday, July 2 that he will continue the suspension of Indiana’s gas taxes for 30 more days.
As a result of the ongoing suspension, Indiana now boasts the cheapest gas in America.
“Affordability is my top priority,” Gov. Braun said. “I am once again extending these gas tax savings to make life more affordable for Hoosier families. Hoosiers will be able to celebrate 250 years of American independence this Fourth of July with the cheapest gas in America.”
Last week, Gov. Braun directed his administration to make local governments whole for any gas tax revenues missed while the ongoing energy emergency is in effect.
“We are running government more efficiently,” Braun said, “and as a result, we have the resources to offer tax relief while supporting local partners.”
Gov. Braun had previously noted this is the final time he can unilaterally suspend the state’s gas taxes without action from the General Assembly.
I think he will keep extending it until after the elections.
