New Jersey residents wonder when they will find relief as NY suspends gas tax
News12Rockland County – near New Jersey's border – has capped the local sales tax at $2. This means that only the first $2 of gas going into a vehicle's tank will be taxed at the county level. This will run through February.
"I don't go to New York just because it's cheaper, because there is a toll that I have to take in consideration, but if I'm driving there and I need gas and it's cheaper, of course we buy cheaper,” says Carlos Meaciel, of Newark. News 12 reached out to Gov. Phil Murphy's office to see if there is a chance the Garden State might suspend the gas tax. The Murphy administration pointed to a proposed state budget that prioritizes affordability for residents in other ways, including property tax relief programs and increased funding to schools.
