Georgia’s gas tax suspension lifts, raising prices by 33 cents per gallon

Georgia’s gas tax suspension, which caused a 33-cent-per-gallon price increase, will expire after being suspended for two-and-a-half months. Governor Brian Kemp initially paused the tax in March and extended it in May, but it is now ending as oil prices remain stable. Critics, including former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and resident James Smith, argue the move fails to address rising costs, while Republican candidate Rick Jackson supports extending the suspension.
