Nassau County approves gas tax suspension for anything over $3 a gallon

MINEOLA, Long Island (WABC) -- A bit of relief is coming to some drivers on Long Island after a temporary suspension of Nassau County's gas tax was approved.

Nassau County legislature approved the temporary break for anything over $3 a gallon.

That is estimated to be about 5 cents a gallon, according to a spokesperson.

However, the break could take until June to go into effect because that will be the next time the county is allowed to change tax rates.
