Colchester, IL – State Representative Rich Myers of Colchester wants a three-month suspension of the state sales tax on gasoline. He says the move would not cost much in tax revenue because the money that would have come in because of the gax tax would be spent on school supplies or clothing or other consumer goods. The governor's office has estimated the suspension from mid-August through mid-October would cost the state $100 million. Myers and other representatives have asked the governor to call a special session to consider the issue. The governor has not yet replied to the request.
