But a CITY can not legally waive a STATE & FEDERAL tax. That is what made it illegal, and why the state attorney general is investigating.
The tax to the state & feds still needs to be paid, whether by the city or DNC. In this case, the gas is non-taxed for the sole purpose of city use, not as a giveaway.
