Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) declared a state of emergency for the Peach State over inflation rates Tuesday.
“From runaway federal spending to policies that hamstring domestic energy production, all Bidenomics has done is take more money out of the pockets of the middle class,” Kemp said in a press release.
“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,” Kemp continued. “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.”
The order will suspend gas and diesel taxes in the state. This would be the second time in two years Kemp has suspended fuel taxes.

Kemp is scum.
Not much, by the looks of it.
back to the bunker, Herr Kempf.
“...This does what exactly?...”
-
The suspension of the State tax on gasoline
will drop the price by 28 cents/gallon.
The precedent is now set..
Declare and emergency then do whatever you want, right?
I’d say suspend and nullify ALL taxes fed and state in the state for 30 days..
I’d say the time a woman dies during an abortion procedure, the gov declares an emergency and banns all abortions for 30 days..
Kemp has escaped the Trump curse so far. His day is coming.
Ahhhhhh, getting ready to run for President , are we? Well, with Big Fani on your team, you probably know what cards she intends to play so we are not able to vote for Pres.Trump. All unconstitutional by the way.
Oh s**t, Trump is up and I screwed him on the election results, what to do? What to do?
I had to look to see if this was from Babylon Bee.
Swamp filth continues the effort to distract from his FAILURE to stop the Trump prosecution.
The order will suspend gas and diesel taxes in the state.
“Kemp previously suspended the state’s gas tax in March 2022 and extended the suspension for 10 months. Georgia’s gasoline price normally includes a federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon and a state tax of 29.1 cents per gallon. A number of counties and the city of Atlanta also charge taxes.”
It lowers the price of gas a little bit.
I dont know if he can suspend the Federal gas tax.
I guess we should be thankful that supposed “conservatives” have discovered that they too can use the “State of Exception” to suspend the normal laws and rights.
But this just looks like the posturing of fake-ass “conservative” who wants to be seen as “taking action” before he announces his Presidential campaign.
You help put Joey B in office, so you can suck on it
He’s in DeSantis’ camp. Kemp might run against Democrat Ossoff for Senator in 2026.
How stupid, enlisting emergency powers to do what exactly about inflation? Other than robbing the state treasury to give money to folks “over burdened” by inflation, what does he think he can do??? And that is what he’s doing, taking money that is supposed to go to maintaining roads, he’s going to give that money to folks and defer needed road maintenance. Not smart.
Deflection by Mars Kemp.
Scared of the restless natives so to speak.
I helped cheat Trump out of winning the election and this is how Biden is repaying me and everyone else...
Did I get that right, He is now bitching about the Actions He took to install Biden?
