Reform plan urges 36 county road caucus against coastal leadership
A South Carolina reform proposal argues for creating a 36 county road and bridge caucus to challenge the coastal 10 counties' control of roughly 1.6 billion dollars yearly for roads. It calls for dismantling the Infrastructure Bank, moving SCDOT to the governor, prioritizing safety repairs, and using tolls for major new projects to end subsidies to coastal counties.
