Lawmakers in Georgia removed a $38 million tax exemption for jet fuel from tax-cut legislation on Thursday in a move that will punish Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines.

Republicans vowed to remove the exemption after the airline cut ties with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Georgia's Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle (R), who is also running for governor, had threatened to kill any tax legislation that benefits Delta after the company's decision to end a discount program for NRA members.

[...] "I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA," Angle tweeted earlier this week.

    I Am Absolutely Serious.

    I want you to send them some ducats to

    "Dear Mister Delta,

    I understand that the State of Georgia is giving you grief as a punishment for your courage with respect to the National Rifle Association.

    Enclosed please find one hundred dollars.

    Buy yourself something nice.

    Politically,

    M. David Crawford"
