ATLANTA — The Georgia Senate has approved a new round of $250-$500 state surplus tax refund checks with only Gov. Brian Kemp's signature now needed for the payments to hit taxpayer pockets.

The Georgia House approved the bill for the new payments — which are largely similar in structure to payments sent out last year — in February.

It's all but assured the governor will sign the legislation authorizing the payments. He thanked the Georgia Senate on Twitter for passing the bill. Kemp proposed this refund earlier in the year, following up on a promise he made on the campaign trail.

You're an idiot.

Abrams also wants to give a $1 billion income tax rebate, although she would restrict it to households making less than $250,000 a year. She proposes spending $1.9 billion of the surplus over four years, financing a big boost in teacher pay and an expansion of the state-federal Medicaid program to provide health insurance for poorer adults.

Republicans resist spending surplus money on continuing programs, and Kemp has attacked Abrams' spending proposals as unsustainable. He claims she wouldn't be able to keep her promises without tax increases.

“The numbers don’t lie," said Abrams campaign spokesperson Alex Floyd. "Thanks in part to federal legislation passed by Georgia Democrats, we have the money to make investments in education, health care and small businesses — all without raisings taxes.”

Republican leaders have held fast to pessimism about state revenue forged in the Great Recession, when steep revenue drops and an unwillingness to raise taxes led to painful cuts in state services.
