Two months ago gas prices in South Carolina were spiking … rising nearly 25 cents per gallon iYou must Subscribe or log in to read the rest of this content.
So we should just let our 4th largest state-maintained roadway network continue to disintegrate, eh? How on earth are we supposed to maintain a network of that size on a fuel tax that only buys 50 cents of what a dollar was worth in 1987?
We shouldn’t let it disintegrate, but SCDOT shouldn’t be pursuing worthless projects instead of doing its job maintaining what we already have.
If it cancels nonsense projects and demonstrates it is doing what it can with the funds it is getting, then a tax increase isn’t such a bad proposition.
I don’t disagree. However, SCDOT is not asking for new construction. It’s the SCDOT Commission and idiot politicians (particularly in Charleston and MB for the idiotic I-526 and I-73 proposals) who are at fault. While there is still a good degree of waste and inefficiency at SCDOT, even with a more streamlined agency, it could not do enough.

Of course before anyone starts celebrating, it’s important to remember South Carolinians have some of the lowest income levels in the country – meaning we pay more for gas than the residents of every other state (save Mississippi).
/facepalm
Yeah…I know you left out, “as a portion of our income’, but still……

And now you know why most of us own trucks, we don’t need no stinking roads….
Trucks tend to have less gas mileage though, ergo they pay more gas tax. :P
I didn’t say we were smart, just that we didn’t need no stinking roads…
Yeah man!! :)

$3.17 at station here in West Columbia……..of course, T will dispute gas prices could possibly go down.
