Pennsylvania lawmakers are debating competing proposals to temporarily suspend the state’s high gas tax in response to rising pump prices, with a Senate bill proposing a 60-day pause and a House version aiming for six months. Supporters argue the move is a necessary relief for residents, while opponents warn it could threaten funding for PennDOT and state police. Currently the average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline in Pennsylvania ranges anywhere form $4.41-$4.52. Here at home, gas prices have gone up by 20 cents since Friday to $4.49 a gallon.
