Attorney General Coleman Statement on the Gas Tax

FRANKFORT, Ky. (May 5, 2026) Attorney General Russell Coleman released the following statement on the Governor’s executive order suspending the gas tax:

“Of course Kentuckians should have lower gas prices.

“But Governor Beshear has vetoed almost every tax cut that’s come to his desk. Now, he’s just playing politics and running for President. Kentuckians stand with President Trump, and they’re not buying what the Governor is selling.”

Background:

Attorney General Coleman will sign and publish an executive order before May 11, 2026 when the Governor’s order takes effect.
