Gas Tax Increase Proposed in South Carolina Senate
A bill by Sen. Robert Scarborough and others would raise the South Carolina gasoline tax from seven to eight cents per gallon, generating about $10.2 million annually. Half funds metropolitan freeway access rights of way, the other half supports rural farm-to-market roads. Scarborough warns rural counties could lose farm-to-market money due to population declines in the 1970 census.
