Drivers In Niagara County Just Got A Huge Gift
There was a big vote that took place in Niagara County that was a huge gift for those who drive. As gas prices are slowly falling back, the Niagara County Legislature has announced a boost.
Starting June 1st, the sales tax on fuel is going to be capped at three-dollars a gallon. The move will save drivers several cents per gallon when it comes time to fill up their vehicles.
The state has already announced it's going to temporarily suspend its gas tax from June 1st through the end of this year.
Prices for just about everything have gone through the roof. And speaking of roofs, have you seen the prices for repairs and construction these days? From the roof to the carpeting and windows in your home, there are crazy prices right now for anyone thinking of doing any sort of upgrade to the house.
But, for now, drivers in the area will get some relief from high gas prices and taxes in Niagara County. The county feels that the tax "holiday" will not affect the bottom line. Hopefully the other counties will agree and do the same. Meetings are scheduled over the next couple of days and weeks among the other counties in Western New York.
