South Carolina House Democrats on Tuesday announced their agenda for this year, saying fixing the state’s roads and bridges is their top priority. House Minority Leader Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Columbia, says they hope and expect to hear Gov. Haley’s plan Wednesday night in her State of the State address.

He says House Democrats are for “all of the above” when it comes to paying to fix our roads.

“All of the above means if the governor comes out with something we’ve never heard of or thought of but it’s going to meet our funding needs, we’ll be for it,” Rep. Rutherford told reporters Tuesday. “If the governor comes out and says she wants to raise gas taxes to pay for it, we’ll be for it. If she wants to do something innovative, like a sliding scale, a larger gas tax now that gas is cheap, one that goes away as gas goes up, we’ll be for it. We are ‘all of the above.’ We simply want her to come out with a plan.”
