What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Republican-controlled Ohio state Legislature will hold a special session on September 30 to vote on a 90-day suspension of the state's gas tax. The proposal gained momentum after leaders, including Senate President Rob McColley, indicated support for the holiday. The average price of regular gas in Ohio is currently $4.4566 a gallon, while diesel averages $6.8167 a gallon. The state's tax on regular gas is 38.5 cents per gallon, and diesel is 47 cents per gallon, though drivers still pay the federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The potential tax holiday is being considered amidst price increases driven by geopolitical factors, including the Iran war and violence in the Strait of Hormuz. The move follows calls from Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton for an emergency holiday due to record high diesel prices. The outcome of the special session will determine if the state tax rate is temporarily reduced for consumers.
