As a member of your constituency, I am asking you to support a sustainable and recurring infrastructure bill in the 2016 General Assembly that will fix and improve our road system. Many of us are counting the days it takes to pass this much needed bill. Excuses are no longer acceptable. 



The damage from the historic floods compounded with decades of deferred road and bridge maintenance and refusal to adopt a long-term funding solution has left our states infrastructure in disrepair. We the people demand better. 



As my elected official, I am telling you I support a reasonable increase in the motor fuel user fee along with enacting other recurring revenue sources to be used exclusively for fixing our roads. Even if the fees are on a moving scale based on the fluctuations of fuel costs, I would still support it. If we can afford to pay over $3.00/gal with the current tax, we can pay if you raise the gas tax on what are now some of the lowest prices we have seen in ages! Spending on infrastructure spurs further economic development. 



The time is now for our states leaders, legislators, business community and citizens alike to work together to address the critical infrastructure needs of South Carolina. 



It is an embarrassment to work for a well respected international company that makes products for the transportation industry and still have to drive on piss poor state, county, and municipal roads every day. It has to be even more of an embarrassment when tourists would be driving on these same roads. If I am dodging known potholes, then these tourists must be hitting each and every one of them. Is that how you want them to remember South Carolina? Surely you want them to come back. Surely you want them to tell their friends and family how great a state South Carolina is to visit. But they won't do that unless our infrastructure:  the roads, the bridges, etc. are improved to modern standards. This is not the Antebellum period anymore. Get the act together or start looking for a new job! I'm a SC voter, and I'm paying attention.
