South Carolina's 78th General Assembly Faces Road Bond Fight
In Columbia the 78th South Carolina General Assembly ends its first week amid a high stake clash over a proposed $65 million road bond issuance to finish the state highway system.

Lawmakers debate 6-0-1 school funding and tax equity, with transportation costs and county disparities central to the contention as sessions proceed.
