ATLANTA
(AP) -- Pro-gun Georgia lawmakers Thursday took revenge on Delta for
crossing the National Rifle Association, killing a proposed tax break on
jet fuel that would have saved the airline millions.
A
sweeping tax bill with the fuel exemption stripped out by the
Republicans passed the GOP-controlled House and Senate by wide margins,
just days after Delta reacted to the school massacre in Florida by
announcing it would no longer offer discount fares to NRA members.
Republican
Gov. Nathan Deal criticized the Delta controversy as an "unbecoming
squabble" but said he would sign the broader tax measure in whatever
form it passed.
