Gov. Brian Kemp has announced he’s extending the state gas tax suspension one last time.

WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali joined “All Things Considered” and said the tax is expected to restart on Jan. 11.

According to Bali, Kemp said it is time to transition away from the suspension of the 29-cent-a-gallon tax on unleaded and 33-cent-a-gallon tax on diesel that started back in March.
