GA GAS TAX HIKE SUNDAY

THE  GEORGIA  GAS  TAX  WILL RISE BY THREE  CENTS  A  GALLON, SUNDAY—THE  RESULT OF A  FORMULA  TIED  TO  FUEL  PRICES. FORMER  GOVERNOR  SONNY  PERDUE  HALTED AN  INCREASE  IN  2009 ,BUT  ITS UNLIKELY  GOVERNOR  NATHAN  DEAL  WILL  DO  IT.  THE  STATE  IS PROJECTED TO REAP  AN  $80  MILLION  WINDFALL  BECAUSE  OF  SPIKING  PUMP  PRICES.  THE  STATE  LEGISLATURE  CONSIDERED  MAKING  CHANGES IN  THE  GAS  TAX  RULES,  IN  THE  SESSION  THAT  ENDED EARLIER  THIS  MONTH, BUT  TOOK  NO  ACTION.
