Can we have $5 billion for S.C. roads?

WLTX

S.C.'s newly appointed Governor, Henry McMaster, sent a letter to President Trump asking for $5 billion to fix the state’s damaged roads.

In it, he told Trump that roads are “worn and inadequate, while others are dangerous.”

He explained that the state is situated see major innovation and growth, but it needs better infrastructure to meet that potential.
“History shows that South Carolina has given much to the nation, and we intend to give more,” he said. “But it is too much at this time to ask our people to bear this burden alone.” Read the full letter here.
