COLUMBIA — Republican House leaders say what the Senate does this week with the roads bill could affect House plans for tax relief.
The Senate is considering a GOP plan authored by Sen. Larry Grooms, a Berkeley County Republican and chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, to provide $400 million more per year for roads from recurring money in the General Fund.
The House last year passed a roads bill that would raise about the same amount of money, taking it from the pump as well as by increasing the cap on the sales tax on cars.
As part of that legislation, the House also approved tax relief that would amount to about $50 million per year and subsequently passed a plan to give military retirees a tax break.
