Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he has delivered on campaign promises of tax breaks by signing an amended budget. The Republican Kemp signed the budget on Friday, boosting spending by $2.4 billion. That includes nearly $1 billion for a property tax break. It also diverts nearly $1.1 billion to the state Department of Transportation to make up for uncollected fuel taxes while gas and diesel taxes were suspended. The state Senate on Tuesday is scheduled to debate a separate Kemp-backed bill that will issue $1 billion in state income tax refunds for a second year.
