Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who takes over for outgoing Gov. Sarah Palin on July 26, is calling on state legislators to extend the suspension of Alaska's motor fuel taxes, including the 5 cent per gallon levy on marine diesel and gasoline.
Legislators are meeting in special session on Aug. 10 to, among other things, consider overriding a Palin veto.
No indication yet on whether the lawmakers will add the fuel tax issue to their agenda.
The one-year fuel tax suspension now in place is set to expire on Sept. 1 unless legislators extend it.
