Jim Renacci calls on Mike Dewine to end Ohio’s 2019 gas tax.

01/22/22

“It’s time for Mike DeWine to end the 2019 gas tax he imposed on hard-working Ohioans. Dewine promised us his gas tax would pay for infrastructure improvements. Instead, he’s been using COVID relief funds for infrastructure, and he is ready to receive even more now that Congress has passed the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. So why are Ohioans still paying his gas tax? We are being taxed twice for infrastructure. That gas tax comes out of our pockets and we have every right to keep the money we earn. Mike DeWine has mismanaged our money long enough. As Governor, I promise to bring Ohio into fiscal responsibility and allow Ohioans to keep more of the money we earn instead of handing it over to a mismanaged government.”
