Senate takes a U turn on transportation reform
Thursday afternoon, the senate passed a bill that offers no reform. Basically, its like “rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking titanic”.
For the record, I did not vote for this bill, nor any amendments that scaled back the very good bill passed out of the Transportation Committee.
The Spartanburg goupstate.com gives a good assessment.
“The Senate plan is even worse. It includes the commission appointed by lawmakers and then sets up a committee of lawmakers to oversee that commission. This isn’t reform. It simply adds another committee to give further cover to whoever will be responsible for the next round of favors and waste at the department.”

Where can we find a record of how Senators voted on transportation reform — who is for it and who is not?

After the voice vote, several of us went to the desk to be recorded as no. We may request a roll call vote on 3rd reading. Below is an excerpt from the Journal.
“Senators RYBERG, GROOMS, VERDIN, BRYANT, and CAMPSEN desired to be recorded as voting against the second reading of the Bill.”
