Mayor Susan Adamchak said if the federal government suspends its gasoline tax, Manhattan would lose out on millions of dollars.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump said he was considering suspending the 18.4-cent-per-gallon tax to ease high energy costs driven by the war with Iran.
“That is $2 million that comes to the city each year,” Adamchak said Tuesday. “That is money that we have been able to count on for the last several decades. But there’s a very good possibility that with the stroke of a pen, the president may do away with that, and it would leave us in a very serious position to not have those resources.”
