Doesn't do as much as you think.
Instead it might backfire(assuming the state doesn't cut budgets/other revenue sources).
As reported:

An analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) for New York Focus showed that less than 50% of the tax savings made its way to consumers. The article estimated that 30% was being retained by the oil industry, which is consistent with the argument I made earlier. However, I will admit I thought it would be more than 30%.
Important things to note.
Supply side fixes are the best. But they're also the hardest.
