not stand in the way anymore. reporter: drivers have had six more months of potholes since lawmakers went home without passing a road plan. most agree on the biggest issue . >> roads are more important. it's been an issue for a long time and really needs to be addressed. reporter: the house passed a plan to cut the income tax about $48 and make some reforms at the department of transportation. when it got to the senate, the senator filibustered to block it. >> the tax was tripled and they were going to dump that money into a system that has demonstrated an inability to address our critical needs. reporter: do not give the department of time-- dot more tax dollars without changing the agency. there is a willingness to change the dot so he thinks the bill will pass but an election year could hurt them.

taxes but they want the roads fixed. we lose either way. reporter: if there is a tax cut and reform people will supported. democrats do not understand why they are being tied together. >> we need to fix roads, everybody knows this. why is it that when it comes to give money, we keep talking about two other things? >> drivers just want results. one other, kidding factor is that the state has $1.3 billion in new money to work with. some say that is no need for an increase but that is one time money and the department of transportation needs at least $1 million a year for 20 years to fix all the problems. an update connected to jewelry store robberies across the state.

clemson responded to deshaun watson for the score and a few minutes later they do it again to take the lead but alabama with respond to tie it back at 14-14. the second have to get underway into the third. they brought t to 2117 with about five minutes left in the quarter, he would score to take a three-point lead which is where we sit right now, 24-21. there were several natives on the roster but one who made the right decision as far as going to school, there was a hope of earning the scholarship with the tigers and we talked with reggie anderson who still feels pretty confident about his decision. you wear a

things worked out for you?>> it's pretty amazing. best decision i've ever made was coming here. . when i was in columbia everybody was telling me you don't know if they will uphold the deal but the coach is a man of his word and a real family man and when i came up here, he made my mother feel good, mama knows best. it was a great decision. i'm here with my brother and it was a great decision. >> the ufc men continue to roll with a win over vanderbilt. there's a lot of national attention and fans may be a little concerned that too much of a good thing can get into players heads. not only is it about consistent

entire program. >> players need to know that coaches are in it with them. they are concerned with helping them find success and our staff works hard being consistent with who we are and not treating players based on the score of the game. we are consistent with expectations and lessons and the message and they realize that if they invest trust then we are going to trust them and it becomes a a lot of fun because you will have days where things don't work out but you know you have a bunch of guys in it with you regardless of that score. i think we've gotten to that place as a program. some high school football news reports that the former

will not return as head coach after four seasons. he started back in 2012 and the superintendent said the search for a new coach would begin immediately. panthers fans host the seahawks at bank of america stadium where home- field advantage is important because the seahawks are rolling especially yesterday's win over the packers. the last time these two teams

from behind to win no matter what part of the

are on the national championship including the gorgeous empipi state building lighting up the sky orange and purple for the tigers and red and white for alabama crimson tide. for 40 years the empire state building has been lighting up to showcase various events and causes. an interesting game to say the least, it is incredible and alabama just kick a field goal, things are tied 24-24 as clemson takes possession again. even as we looked at, five minutes ago when we checked in people were rowling-- rallying and now there a little more quiet right now. >> if you are not affiliated with either team, what a game. >> it has been an incredible

for everyone who will wake up sleepy tomorrow. we will be seeing a low of

degrees. er (cheers and applause) (audience chanting stephen)
