Kemp suspends Georgia gas tax again, blames inflation on 'Bidenomics'

  • Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has suspended the state's gas tax from Sept. 13 to Oct. 12 via executive order.
  • Kemp blames the Biden administration's economic policies for high inflation and the need to provide relief through suspending the tax.
  • This is the second gas tax suspension in Georgia in 2022 after a previous 10-month suspension saved residents $1.7 billion.
  • Georgia has budget surpluses to afford the tax break, with about $10 billion in surplus state funds.
  • Kemp aims to shift political focus to tax cuts and away from Trump's indictment through the gas tax suspension.
