Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms called on Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) to revive his earlier suspension of the state’s fuel excise tax to bring down the cost of diesel fuel.
Kemp had signed a 60-day suspension of the state’s fuel excise tax in March, then extended it to May, but afterward let it expire. The expiration of the tax suspension sent gas prices up by $0.33 per gallon and diesel prices up by $0.37 per gallon. Bottoms has been pushing for another suspension since but repeated her call in light of rising diesel costs.
