Haley, SCDOT Director Want "Steady Stream" of Road Funding

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and state Department of Transportation Secretary Christy Hall held a news conference Wednesday to discuss road conditions and the bill to allocate funds for repairs.

Haley called the current system of fixing roads “political horse trading.”

She said heavily traveled roads with safety needs are not getting fixed because the money has been sent to pet projects. 

Haley has called for a new plan to create a steady stream of money for roads so lawmakers don’t have to search each year for funding. 

The governor wants a $400 million spending stream for roads.
