佐治亚州长坎普10月24日宣布延长燃油税暂停至11月30日 覆盖感恩节出行季
10月24日，佐治亚州州长布莱恩·坎普宣布延长全州紧急状态，并把州机动车燃油消费税的暂停期延长至11月30日。坎普在与副州长伯特·琼斯和众议院议长乔恩·伯恩斯协商后作出这一决定，理由是汽油与柴油价格仍处高位，而感恩节假期出行高峰即将到来，希望借此为佐治亚家庭减轻负担。
坎普表示：“随着一个重要假期的临近、燃油价格仍处高位，我很自豪能采取这一步，让佐治亚人手里多留些钱。”这一决定延续了他此前的一系列行政令：此前他已宣布紧急状态、暂停商业车辆的州重量限制，并暂停对公路上使用染色柴油的处罚。
州长办公室表示，稳健的财政管理使州政府能够在必要时采取这类措施，此前州政府已通过所得税退税和房产税减免向纳税人返还了数十亿美元。

Georgia Gov. Kemp Extends Gas Tax Suspension to Nov. 30, Covering Thanksgiving Travel
On October 24, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced he was extending the state of emergency and the suspension of the state motor fuel excise tax through November 30. Kemp made the decision after consulting Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and House Speaker Jon Burns, citing still-high gasoline and diesel prices and the approaching Thanksgiving travel peak as a way to ease costs for Georgia families.
"As a major holiday approaches and fuel prices remain high, I am proud to take this step to keep more money in Georgians' pockets," Kemp said. The move continues a series of executive actions: he had previously declared the emergency, suspended state weight limits for commercial vehicles and paused penalties for using dyed diesel on highways.
The governor's office said sound fiscal management allows the state to take such steps when needed, noting the state has previously returned billions of dollars to taxpayers through income-tax refunds and property-tax relief.
