Georgia’s state director of the National Federation of Independent Business praised Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision to suspend the state’s gas tax following Hurricane Helene.
The suspension took effect today and runs through Oct. 9.
“The governor’s action helps everyone in Georgia, especially those who live, work, and do business in the areas affected by Tropical Storm Helene,” NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins said in a Thursday statement. “Inflation continues to drive up the cost of fuel and everything else needed to run a small business, so Governor Kemp’s action will provide much-needed relief, helping to ease the financial burden on businesses and consumers alike.”
