New York State Senate Republicans on Tuesday criticized a proposed bill which could increase the state’s gas tax by 55 cents per gallon. It s a proposal which has also drawn the ire of local business leaders.
“It would be a tremendous hit for everybody in our state, and specifically in our community, said John Collis, the third generation part owner of Fred F. Collis And Sons Heating in Yorkville. People would have to pay more for the price to heat their home, they would have to pay more to run their vehicles. An average homeowner could probably be seeing several, you know, three $400 increase per year.”
