Delta tax cut stripped from Georgia bill after NRA feud

Republicans in the Georgia legislature took a step Wednesday toward fulfilling the GOP lieutenant governor's vow to punish Delta Air Lines for severing business ties with the National Rifle Association. But a Democratic rival warned the political threat could be illegal.

The Republican-dominated Senate Rules Committee cast a non-unanimous voice vote Wednesday to strip a sales tax exemption on jet fuel from a larger tax bill, which now goes to the full Senate. Atlanta-based Delta stood to save tens of millions of dollars annually as the biggest beneficiary of the fuel tax break. - S.F. Chronical

1. Delta has no incentive to do anything but leave Atlanta. Talk about stupid

but when it comes to GA politicos, that is a given...

2. I so love Atlanta. It is my second home. But this

is so colossally stupid that I hope Delta seeks a new hub.
