State Senator Liz Krueger, a Manhattan Democrat, said when we all agree we should be decreasing our dependence on foreign petroleum, why we continue to give tax expenditures, exemptions, credits, and refunds for the use of petroleum and even have bills coming to the floor that would expand those. It seems to be a net lose-lose proposition to use the tax code to encourage alternative fuels while also allowing the same tax code to encourage the expanded use of petroleum. Krueger, who voted against the bill the Senate passed said that this was not a tax return to consumers this was a reduction in taxes to the wholesalers with no ability to hold them accountable to pass those savings along to the consumer.
