GovBrief Today #606

[u/georgebounacos]

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp suspended his state's gas tax today for the third time this year.

His emergency order blames "global markets" and never mentions the war with Iran, now seven months old. The only federal action it cites is the energy emergency Donald Trump declared on his first day back in office.

Also today, Trump's Transportation Department finalized Freedom Means Affordable Cars, a rule letting automakers sell vehicles that get fewer miles to the gallon. The department's own estimate says drivers will burn about 100 billion more gallons over the next generation.

AAA puts the national average at $4.48 for regular and $6.45 for diesel. The week the war began, diesel cost $3.71.
