Monty Fritts wants to use it to ease the pinch on families by pausing gas and grocery taxes until July 1. With state coffers overflowing from last year’s record food and fuel tax haul, Fritts argues a temporary tax break could help stretch budgets, especially since sales and fuel taxes hit everyday folks hardest. But Speaker Cameron Sexton pushes back, noting gas prices are already low nationally, the tax is collected wholesale (so price cuts may not reach consumers), and the break could unfairly help out-of-state tourists during peak travel season—calling it fiscally irresponsible. Governor’s office remains silent. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
