Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday suspended Georgia\u2019s motor fuel tax for 30 days as the war with Iran sends gas prices soaring and voters press leaders to ease the strain on household budgets ahead of the November elections.<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s order begins at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and suspends the state\u2019s 33-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and roughly 37-cent-per-gallon levy on diesel. The break is expected to cost the state about $200 million a month, which Kemp is likely to offset by dipping deeper into Georgia\u2019s surplus.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past several years, with the help of our partners in the General Assembly, we\u2019ve been able to give billions of dollars in relief to hardworking Georgians,\u201d Kemp said in a news release. \u201cWe\u2019ve remained committed to helping them and our small businesses fight through the tough times, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m taking this action today to give further relief.\u201d<\/p>\n
