GOVERNOR DEWINE GIVE US OUR DAMNED MONEY BACK - NOW!

Ohio House Rep. Ty Mathews, R-Findlay, has been discussing with some colleagues a possible three-month break on the state’s motor fuel tax, he said.

The tax is 38.5¢ per gallon for gasoline and 47¢ per gallon for diesel.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has rejected a proposal to suspend the state’s gas tax as prices hit or near $5 around the state.

DeWine opposes the plan, arguing that the tax money is essential to maintain and construct roads, highways and bridges — as well as fix potholes.

“We like to have good roads, and we like to be able to drive, and we also know that when we have huge holes in our roads, that can have a real impact on your car,” DeWine said.

The money that the state gets from the tax is needed, and due to inflation, those dollars are 30% less effective now than they were in 2020, the governor said.

“I think it would be a very grave disservice to the people of the state of Ohio to suspend that user tax, which is really what it is, and I think Ohioans would feel the pain of that in the months ahead, as our roads deteriorate.”

Mathews wondered what good the gas tax is for road work if no one is driving due to these sky-high prices.

“Obviously there’s gonna be some pushback with ODOT, it’s just at the end of the day, are we doing the right thing?” he said. “This, at least, will show the people of Ohio that we are trying to do something for them.”

There is only one HUGE Problem with DeWine's Argument that they can't "afford" to "give us" a Temporary Suspension of the Ohio Fuel Tax . . .

They ALREADY Took $1.2 Billion MORE of OUR Money than they EVEN NEED which would "pay" for the Fuel Tax Cut! See this Report from the OBM:

Ohio State Revenues over $1 Billion ahead of Estimates through April

Two months before the end of FY26, the state’s General Revenue Fund (GRF) tax revenues continue to come in ahead of projections, exceeding estimates through April by nearly $1.2 billion or 4.9 percent according to preliminary data released Thursday by the Office of Budget and Management (OBM). Revenues for the month of April alone were $338.9 million or 13.3 percent over estimates.

In addition, the non-auto sales tax collections were $65.9 million or 5.8 percent higher than the monthly estimate and $282.2 million or 2.8 percent higher than the year-to-date estimate. Auto sales tax collections surpassed the estimate for the month by $10.2 million or 5 percent and are running nearly $59.5 million over for the year. However, cutting into the sales tax surpluses is the $44.9 million that was transferred for the Sales Tax Holiday. That brings those two taxes to a total of nearly $296.8 million or 2.5 percent over estimates for the fiscal year.

Personal income tax collections for April were $272.3 million or 27.1 percent higher than the estimate for the month; the year-to-date variance is a positive $698.7 million or 8.4 percent. The Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) was $2.7 million or 3.6 percent below the monthly estimate but it is still $151.6 million or 8.4 percent above the estimate for the year-to-date.

The state has collected a total of $25.0 billion so far this fiscal year compared to $23.5 billion collected last year at this time. For April, the state collected nearly $2.9 billion compared to $2.6 billion collected in April 2025 for a $274.6 million difference.

So DeWine is WRONG - AGAIN!

The State HAS the Money to Suspend our Ohio Fuel Taxes! They have OUR MONEY! They took an "extra" $1.2 BILLION from us on top of our already egregious tax burden. The State budget is fully funded ALREADY! This $1.2 Billion is NOT NEEDED by the State but it IS NEEDED BY THE PEOPLE and We Want it Back NOW!

I have talked to State Treasurer Robert Sprague and he assured me and Ty Mathews that the legislature can transfer the money from the accounts that have excess tax receipts into the Fuel Tax account and cover the cost of a suspension of the Ohio Fuel Tax from now until the end of the year without affecting ODOT AT ALL!! There is NO EXCUSE for not giving Ohioans their money back NOW!

My projections show that the $1.2 Billion would cover the Fuel Tax Cut even if it went until the end of the year. A 38.5¢ per gallon for gasoline and 47¢ per gallon for diesel savings would save every Ohioan just enough to ease the pain at the pump and it will save our truckers $5,000 this year. Plus people on our border states would cross over to get the gas savings in Ohio helping our economy! The Bill is SIMPLE! Read it Here:

To amend section 5735.05 and to enact sections 5735.052 and 5735.053 of the Revised Code to temporarily suspend the levy and collection of the state motor fuel excise tax on gasoline and diesel fuel through December 31, 2026, or until the statewide average retail price of regular gasoline falls below $3.00 per gallon, whichever occurs first; to require motor fuel dealers to pass through the full tax savings to retail fuel sellers and to require retail fuel sellers to reduce pump prices by the full amount of the suspended tax; to mandate posting of consumer notices at fuel pumps; to establish enforcement authority and penalties for non-compliance; and to declare an emergency.
