ATLANTA
(AP) — As companies across America take a stand on guns after the
Florida school massacre, Delta Air Lines withstood swift political
retribution in its home state of Georgia for cutting ties with the
National Rifle Association.
Ignoring
warnings that the state's business-friendly image could be tarnished,
Republicans in the state legislature voted Thursday to kill a tax break
that would have saved Delta millions of dollars in sales tax on jet
fuel. The proposal wasn't controversial until Delta announced last
weekend it would no longer offer discounted fares to NRA members.
