(The Center Square) — Channeling his inner Barack Obama, who famously said he had a pen and phone and wasn’t afraid to issue executive orders, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp suspended the state’s motor fuel tax this week.
On Tuesday, Kemp, a Republican, declared a state of emergency and suspended the state’s excise tax on motor and locomotive fuel. The suspension, which the governor says is necessary because of high inflation, kicked in on Wednesday and remains in effect until Oct. 12.
