SC’s road conditions aren’t just inconvenient—they’re economic strain

Bad roads = more vehicle repairs, higher maintenance costs, and unreliable transportation. In a travel-dependent state, that affects: • getting to work • accessing food • making medical appointments That’s social determinants of health —transportation costs + access to resources barriers. Infrastructure isn’t separate from health care or economic stability. Fix the roads out of the legislative budget, not as another tax on residents → reduce the burden. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/us-road-conditions.html
