Michael Knetter, the UW-Madison Business School dean, today ridiculed Sen. John McCainâ??s proposed summer gas tax holiday as â??political pandering.â?
Speaking at a global economics conference at the Fluno Center, Knetter said McCainâ??s proposal to suspend the 18.4-cent tax on gasoline (and the 24.4-cent levy on diesel fuel) from Memorial Day until Labor Day is flawed.
