A group of five Democratic governors – including Tony Evers – is urging Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for the rest of the year.
Evers and the others sent a letter to leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives.
The governor’s office says the Gas Prices Relief Act would help Americans struggling with pump prices of around $4.00 a gallon.
Suspending the federal tax would knock the per-gallon price down by 18.4 cents.
The Wisconsin pump price has jumped by 63 cents since last month.
