What is Henry McMaster doing with all the fuel tax money?

July 1, 2019 the 3rd phase of the SC gas tax hike took effect
per gallon taxes climb from 20.75 to 22.75 cents.
This climbed to 28.75 – an increase of 71.6 percent above its former level. It is projected to deprive taxpayers of $1.8 billion over its first 5 years and $600 million each year after. Guess what! Roads fvcked and still outta money!!!

You'd think the imposition of such a massive tax increase would translate immediately (enacted 7 years ago) into widespread, noticeable improvements in the roads and bridges South Carolinians traverse on the daily. Unfortunately not.

SCDOT got $2.6 billion in 2019. That’s a $191 million (or 8 percent) increase from the previous year. A big chunk of this funding increase – $53 million – went toward "maintenance".

Funding increases for "maintenance" are expected to be included in the state budget scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2023.
