The process was not without ups and downs, however, given that in order t o overcome an impasse after the state House and state Senate took money from each other’s priorities — and from Gov. Brian Kemp’s — to pay for their own projects, Kemp had to dig up an extra $1.4 billion in surplus funds.  So, as Tagami indicates the amended fiscal year budget for 2026 that was a $42.3 billion is now nearly $43.7 billion.  A chunk of that is for one-time givebacks to taxpayers.  The Georgia House put $850 million into the budget for property tax rebates to Georgia homeowners. Governor  Kemp originally placed $250 income tax rebates ($500 for couples filing jointly) into his budget r...
