Members of Anderson County’s legislative delegation said Monday that fixing the state’s crumbling roads, ethics reform and school choice will top the agenda when the South Carolina General Assembly convenes next month.
Sen. Billy O’Dell, Sen. Kevin Bryant, Rep. Anne Thayer, Rep. Joshua Putnam and Rep. Jonathon Hill shared their thoughts about the coming legislative session during the monthly meeting of 1st Monday Club of Anderson. The meeting was held at Master’s Wok restaurant on North Main Street in Anderson.
All of the Anderson Legislators agree that the states roads are in bad shape but the real issue will come on how to pay for it all. There are many different proposals on the table, from raising the states second lowest gas tax rate in the nation to increasing the states sales tax. These proposals do not come without heavy ctiticizm from both sides of the aisle though.
