Youngkin proposes temporary suspension of gas tax

Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced plans to propose legislation to suspend for three months Virginia’s gas tax in response to soaring gas prices.

If his proposal is approved by the General Assembly, motorists would see a 26-cent decrease per gallon for three months, May, June, and July, and phase it back in slowly in August and September.
