Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) announced on Tuesday that he would be suspending the gas tax in the Peach State through an executive order while blaming President Joe Biden's handling of the economy.
The gas tax will be suspended from Sept. 13 through Oct. 12 under the executive order. Kemp placed the blame for increased gas prices necessitating a suspension of the fuel tax on"Bidenomics," which he claims has only taken"more money out of the pockets of the middle class."Today, I signed an Executive Order suspending the state gas tax, because hardworking Georgians deserve real relief from the disastrous effects of Bidenomics.— Governor Brian P.
“While high prices continue to hit family budgets, hardworking Georgians deserve real relief and that's why I signed an executive order today to deliver it directly to them at the pump. Working with partners in the General Assembly, we'll continue to help Georgians weather the economic headwinds caused by this president, his administration, and their allies in Congress," he continued.
Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns applauded Kemp's executive action and contrasted the"success story" of Georgia with how the economy is being handled on a national level.
