Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency in response to high inflation, blaming policies coming out of Washington, D.C.
Kemp is temporarily suspending Georgia's excise tax -- taxes enforced on particular goods, services and activities -- on motor and locomotive fuel, his office said in a press release on Tuesday.
The governor said Georgia residents will save "31.2 cents per gallon of gasoline and 35 cents per gallon of diesel fuel" under the state of emergency.
I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I don't like this new trend of calling "State Emergencies" to gain political points. For what? a couple of weeks of cheap gas? What's next, to take my firearms away? Oh, wait...
This is nothing more than Brandon tapping our strategic reserves for "cheap" gas prices during the midterms.
I might be able to afford to get to the grocery store now, but I still can't buy anything.
