Senate Override of the Gas Tax Veto

On May 10, 2017 the SC Senate overrode Governor McMaster’s veto of the gas tax increase. This massive tax hike increases the taxes and fees on South Carolinian’s by hundreds of dollars a year and does not guarantee our roads will be repaired.

The senators, listed below, that voted to override the veto did so saying that they, “had fixed the roads” and accomplished, “real reform at the Department of Transportation.” Neither of these things is true under H. 3516, but what is true is that South Carolinians will pay a lot more.
