An area state lawmaker is calling on the senate and assembly majorities and the governor to get on board with a bill he says would impact the prices at the pumps immediately. Stony Point and Orange County Assemblyman Colin Schmitt says his bill, the “Gas Sales Tax Elimination Act,” would suspend the state sales tax and provide an option to suspend the local gas sales tax immediately, saving motorists at least 20 cents a gallon statewide…
Schmitt said at current market trends the price of gas could be over $5 a gallon by the end of the week.
