County backs road fee while city moves to repeal
Aiken County will not eliminate its $25 annual road maintenance fee, planning to keep the revenue likely exceeding $4 million in the 2021 2022 fiscal year despite a Greenville County Supreme Court ruling against a similar tax. County Administrator Clay Killian says the Greenville ruling does not apply to Aiken, and county officials plan a first reading to amend the 2021 2022 budget at the July county council meeting as the legal questions continue.
