What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Brian Kemp suspended the state gas tax in Georgia through an executive order. This action follows a trend where leaders in at least four states—Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, and Utah—have temporarily suspended or reduced the state tax on gasoline. Separately, Donald Trump issued an executive order to expand access to tax-free diesel fuel nationwide, a move supported by several governors.
