New Jersey is on the verge of increasing its famously low gas tax. But happy news for July 4 weekend drivers, that hike won’t happen this week.
Lawmakers in both the state Assembly and the state Senate appear to be on board with increasing New Jersey’s gas tax to 37.5 cents a gallon, up from 14.5 cents currently.
But on Thursday political fights over what other taxes should be cut at the same time is delaying passage of the higher gas tax.
