-- Indiana Governor Mike Braun has declared a new statewide energy emergency thus extending the suspension of Indiana’s Gasoline Usage Tax and Gasoline Excise Tax through Sept. 5. “New conditions that continue to disrupt global energy distribution provide a new basis for a suspension of gas taxes. Affordability is my top priority, and my gas tax suspensions delivered the cheapest gas in America for Hoosiers all summer. The new emergency takes effect on Friday, following the expiration of the current suspension. The new energy emergency provides a 120-day window of authority.
