he state Senate's debate on how to get more money for South Carolina roads continues, but Republicans say the end should be in sight.
Democrats spent Tuesday introducing amendments to change the part of the GOP proposal that restructures the Department of Transportation Board and other parts of the Republican plan to take $400 million out of the general fund budget for roads.
All the amendments were killed on party line votes.
Republicans say they want to vote on the bill by the end of the week. Senators have done little else in the General Assembly session that started in January.
The state has around $1 billion in additional revenue thanks to population growth and the improving economy.
The Senate meets at 10 a.m. Wednesday for more debate.
