GOP senator seeks to cap Conn. gas tax

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A Republican state senator from Meriden says he plans to introduce legislation next month that caps one of Connecticut's two taxes on gasoline sales.

Sen. Leonard Suzio said Thursday that his bill would cap the gross receipts tax whenever the price of gas hits $3 a gallon. The gross receipts tax fluctuates when the wholesale price of gasoline fluctuates.

Connecticutcurrently has some of the highest gas taxes and gas prices in the country. Besides the fixed 25-cent-per-gallon state tax, the gross receipts tax adds about another 25 cents or more per gallon.

Suzio and the Stamford-based Gasoline and Automotive Service Dealers of America are circulating a citizens' petition, urging Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to back the proposed gas tax cap. They say they've already collected more than 1,000 signatures.
