Reply to comment by IrrumaboMalum in Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to cut state gas tax by wildfireonvenus
I wouldn't be surprised if it passes the house as well with such a slim majority. Maybe I'm wrong but I imagine there are a handful of Democrats that would vote yes, if nothing else because of fear of losing their seat next time around. Regardless, it's something that's unpopular for that majority of voters. I would be shocked if it doesn't end up getting lowered. If it doesn't it will certainly be an issue that Republicans will harp on the next election cycle.

Republicans are the one who passed the tax in the first place

And now the optics will be the Republicans trying to lower it and the Democrats keeping it high.

They’re screwed either way. Either they’re painted as loving high taxes, or accused of defunding the police.
