Special session sought in Maryland to enact gas tax holiday

As gas prices remain high and unstable, calls for another gas tax holiday in Maryland is re-igniting debate over what to do about it. As of Thursday, AAA indicated the average price for a gallon of regular gas in Maryland is $4.90, which is a decrease of a few cents below Wednesday's average. Nationally, the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $4.94. Economists believe the high gas prices are being fueled by inflation, and inflation's evil consequence is recession. Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot said Maryland is in the grips of a recession and knows how to dial it down.
