Georgia House Votes To Strip Delta Of $35 Million Tax Credit For Flipping On Election Law Support

The Georgia state House passed an amendment Wednesday that would strip Delta Air Lines of a multimillion-dollar tax break after the company blasted the state’s new election laws.

Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law last week a bill overhauling his state’s election procedures designed to increase security and address issues that surrounded the 2020 election. Delta initially supported key measures of the legislation after it was signed, then backtracked days later amid calls for boycotts pushed by left-wing publications.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian said the new election law “does not match Delta’s values.” Republicans in the state House, angered by Bastian’s sudden flip on the election overhaul, hit back at the company by voting to strip it of a jet fuel tax break worth over $35 million a year, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Oh my!

Wasn’t expecting that.

They actually might cause them to pause and think next time.

The Georgia state House passed an amendment

If the Senate passes it and Kemp signs it, I'll feel like maybe we're fighting back.

What about Delta's free speech rights?

This isn't cancel culture, this is government explicitly trying to punish a private entity for their clearly legal speech.

That train left the station long ago. This is just the right fighting fire with fire.
