Actually no. They were included in the bill and had to be removed by votes in both the Georgia House and Senate. They then voted on the modified bill and the governor signed it into law this morning.This was likely to be done anyway as they are old breaks all airlines got they were going to end anyway.Damn, Georgia did it too. LOL
Georgia Republicans honor their threat, pass bill punishing Delta for cutting ties with NRA
In a show of political strength, Georgia lawmakers on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill that was stripped of an earlier provision granting Delta Air Lines a lucrative tax break.
By passing the bill, lawmakers carried out the threat that Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, R, made to Atlanta-based Delta earlier this week: if the airline did not restore discounted fares to members of the National Rifle Association, Republicans would strike down a $50 million sales-tax exemption on jet fuel from its larger tax-cut package. Delta, which is one of the state's largest employers, would have been the primary beneficiary of the exemption.
