Colin Chauret: Gas tax a gimmick

Letter to the editor  —  5/09/2008 5:16 am

Dear Editor: Regardless whether we think $30 saved in federal tax reduction between Memorial Day and Labor Day is a big deal or not, has anyone challenged Hillary Clinton and John McCain as how they plan to accomplish the tax break by Memorial Day? Neither one is president. Do they plan to drop all work on the election, go back to Congress to get the bill through and get President Bush to sign it by May 26? Let's get real. This is a gimmick to get the uniformed to vote for them.
