Bottoms pledges cuts to taxes on auto insurance and fuel

ATLANTA — With gasoline prices topping $4 a gallon less than two weeks ahead of early voting, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms pledged to cut driving-related taxes. Standing outside a BP gas station near Georgia Tech on Wednesday, Bottoms said that if voters choose her as the state's next governor over Republican Rick Jackson, she will seek to eliminate the state's 2.25% auto insurance premium tax and roll back the state motor fuel tax to 28 cents a gallon for gasoline and 31.3 cents for diesel. She also blamed President Donald Trump and the war in Iran. "This war that Trump projected would last just a matter of days or a couple of weeks, or whatever it was that came out of his mouth at that time, has continued and it's only getting worse," Bottoms said. Her policy rollout came two days after Gov. Brian Kemp, who is backing Jackson, declared a state of emergency to suspend the motor fuels tax for 30 days. The state excise tax is 33.3 cents per gallon of gasoline and 37.3 cents per gallon of diesel. Bottoms' new policy proposals came amid a battle for voters' hearts and minds on one of the top issues
