More money will pour into Georgia’s roads and bridges in coming years, but that will come with a price at the gas pump, as well as for electric vehicle owners and hotel/motel guests. An additional $830 million to $850 million is expected to be generated each year through a change in the gas tax structure taking effect Wednesday. The changes, approved by the General Assembly this year, primarily eliminates the state fuel sales tax and enacts a 26-cent excise tax.
