Road Fee Sparks Debate in Aiken County Hearing
A public hearing on Aiken County's $15 road maintenance fee drew outraged comments before the County Council's third reading. Tom King of the Aiken County Libertarian Party warned the fee creates a separate fund to dodge lawsuits and spurs a tax revolt as more residents refuse to pay. The fee began Oct 1 1987 and has raised about $600 000, with funds restricted to road construction and maintenance. County officials cited potential court rulings, including a Dorchester County suit, and cautioned refunds or millage increases if revenues are overturned.
