Any move to get rid of the car tag tax wouldn't primarily hit state coffers

From The Athens Banner-Herald:

An unpopular tax is in the crosshairs of Georgia lawmakers as the November elections approach.

And as Republicans consider repealing the state's property tax on cars, local governments are standing on edge.

[A]ny move to get rid of the car tag tax wouldn't primarily hit state coffers. The overwhelming majority of the tax flows to local governments. Of the nearly $650 million collected a year in car taxes, only about $5.2 million goes to the state. Another $368.8 million goes to school districts, $171.9 million to counties and $55.7 million to cities.

And those figures don't include the revenues for some fire and police departments, parks and other services.
