David Wilkins said it best when he was Speaker: Republicans won’t support a gas tax increase until every penny of the existing tax is spent for the purpose it was collected: roads. He said at the time (around 2005) that more than $60 million per year is siphoned off for other purposes.
In my opinion, only one of those “other purposes” is legitimate: about $3 million per year that is spent on boat ramps and other facilities by DNR based on the amount of fuel purchased for boats. The amount could be reduced, but that is a legitimate expense.
The solution:
1. Legalize/tax prostitution
2. Allow para-mutual betting on horse and dog racing
3. Sell closed circut viewing of executions to fund death row
4. Dump the fucked-up state income tax and consult Tennessee,New Hampshire and Florida as models for revenue sources.
5. State road use tax on vehicle tires
6. Allow GPS tracking for road use to individuals who volunteer for the program in lieu of gas/tire taxes.
Why not the hot chick pic for the gas story?
Fuck increasing the gas tax. I can repair suspensions cheaper if it comes down to it.
Once increased the tax will never recede.
This illustrates yet another serious disconnect in the Haley administration, as her unqualified SCDOT appointee Secretary St. Onge is making the rounds across the state with a presentation on how much money they need, i.e. the gas tax must be raised to meet their financial needs. Why does Haley want more power when she obviously doesn’t even communicate with her appointees now?
