Perlmutter’s secret heating tax

December 10, 2021

Coloradans’ higher heating bills are about to get even worse thanks to Ed Perlmutter.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “The House passed what it calls a “fee” on methane that amounts to a stealth tax on natural gas and everyone who uses it… Producers will naturally pass the cost of the tax along to customers… This is also a regressive tax that hurts low-income families without a financial cushion.”

NRCC Comment: “Ed Perlmutter isn’t helping Coloradans struggling with high heating bills. Instead, his party’s massive spending sprees are only making it worse.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Courtney Parella
