ATLANTA, GA — Bills suspending gasoline taxes in Georgia are on their way to Gov. Brian Kemp's desk, and he has hinted that he will sign the bill. The Georgia Senate voted unanimously to pass a bill suspending state taxes on gasoline through May, according to Georgia Public Broadcast. Once voted into law, the measure could save Georgia drivers 29 cents per gallon on gas, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan tweeted. "We're stepping up to the plate under the Gold Dome to make sure Georgians can keep their hard-earned dollars," said Duncan, who leads the Senate. The House passed a similar bill, also unanimously, last week. Kemp's office said the bill will likely reach his desk Friday. "We are pleased the Senate voted in favor, and Governor Kemp will sign (it) as soon as possible," Kemp spokeswoman Katie Byrd said Thursday in an email.
