Oops! Indiana Congressional Republicans Call Out State GOP for Their Gas Tax Failure

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, today pointed out how Republicans in Indiana's Congressional delegation (accidentally) called out their statehouse colleagues for their failure to address the state's high gas prices. Indiana GOP politicians like Todd Young took to social media to blame President Joe Biden and Democrats over the high cost of gas - but it's politicians like Governor Eric Holcomb who refuse to pause the state's gas tax and save Hoosiers about 56 cents per gallon at the pump.

Indiana Republicans could quickly call a special session on May 24 - Technical Corrections Day - to pause both the state gas tax AND the impending hike expected to fall on July 1. This would save families cash at the pump during this burdensome global inflationary period.

But, Indiana Republicans "show no signs" of combating an issue that's important to voters - proving once more they are a party with no plans for Indiana, just partisanship.

In contrast, Indiana Democrats like Mike Andrade, Rita Fleming, and Tonya Pfaff renewed their calls from last session to pause the state's gas tax. The Indiana Democratic Party also called on the state to halt the impending tax hike on gas - an increase that would further burden motorists across the state. Democrats are focused on correcting Indiana's F-rated quality of life rating by solving the kitchen-table issues important to voters - like global inflation. Should the Indiana GOP fail to pause the gas tax, Democrats will use their partisanship as a hallmark issue for the 2022 elections.
