Americans for Prosperity Enter Palmetto State Gas Tax Debate

The gas tax is taking center stage for campaign season in South Carolina. “Anti-tax activists are working the phones to secure GOP senators’ opposition in 2016, when every legislator is up for re-election.”

The message: Reform the system. Don’t add more money. No new taxes. Governance reforms include:

• abolishing both the legislatively appointed DOT commission and the State Infrastructure Bank (which funds transportation rojects)

The Chamber of Commerce retorts that reform is needed along with funding. That only a two proing approach will solve the transportation funding crisis.
