There are many low tax states with the best roads in the US. Aka Texas for example. It's just no one in Columbia gets along and this is getting delayed due to those assclowns.
The only repair that bridge will likely see is when it is replaced with a much wider span when West Georgia Road is widened from two to four lanes in the future.
Ah, the drawbacks of living in a low tax, "pro-business" state. Stuff starts falling apart.
You sound like a parrott, "raise taxes, I told you so..SQUAKKKK", but can you promise that the taxes that are raised will be used for actual road and bridge improvements?
New York has the highest gas tax at 50.6 cents a gallon. 60% of their roads need repair in NY compared to only 40% in SC. The average cost for repairs to a driver in NY is $403 compared to $255.
North Carolina has 45% of roads that need repair, while GA is doing great at 19%. Both states taxes are higher, but it appears that GA is doing much better with their funds.
no, but i can promise you that if we don't raise revenue, we won't make any road and bridge improvements.
So I guess the other $500 million or so dollars in tax revenue is not being used for road and bridge improvements?
