This particular point is somewhat lost in the argument. As gas prices go up, the state and local governments are in a windfall with unexpected (and increasing) revenue. If the state & local politicians want to make a difference, they should cap the SALES TAX on gas - even if it a short-term fix. One local village official here in Illinois wants to go after “big gas” companies but refuses to look at self-capping local fuel taxes.

An election year would be a good time to bring it up. Assuming it gets any traction in the news.
