State Sen. Linda Rogers (R-Granger) is calling on Gov. Braun to temporarily suspend tax on gas to help provide relief for Hoosiers and made the following statement today:
STATEHOUSE (April 8, 2026) –"As people across the state struggle to keep up with the rising costs of living, I continue to work with my fellow legislators on ways to help those in our community. I fully support Sen. Holdman's call to temporarily suspend the tax on gas, especially as we continue to see high prices. This is a reasonable next step for us to help offer some relief for Hoosiers, and I encourage the governor to strongly consider this request."

Earlier this year, our state suspended two of its gas taxes. As of Oct. 2, this has made Indiana's gas prices the lowest in the country. However, Indiana farmers and our agriculture industry are still suffering due to the skyrocketing cost of diesel fuel. As a farmer and the senator for a largely rural district, I am experiencing this firsthand.
One of the most basic and important duties of government is to keep us safe. And yet, Indiana is among the minority of states that still allows nearly all accused criminals to post bail, even if there is compelling evidence the defendant poses a significant threat to the public.
