toshiyuki kondo thank you for making south carolina your home. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the state of our state is inspiring. over the last four years i have had the great privilege of traveling far and wide representing our state and her people. what i've learned is that we're not the only ones who love south carolina. whether i'm in california or connecticut, montreal or minnesota, the story of south carolina's success is front and center. everywhere we go there is excitement - and frankly, not a small amount of envy - over who we are and what we've been able to accomplish. it's a beautiful thing. but last year i got to experience just how far that word is spreading. in november, as many of you know, we traveled to india on a trade mission. india, of course, is the country of my parents' birth. i hadn't been there since i was 2 years old, so the trip was a special one for me - there are few things more impactful than seeing firsthand, for the first time, your own history. but what was even more amazing to me was the connections i foun

that you join me in welcoming mayor joe riley and thanking him for his lifetime of service to south carolina. just a few short weeks ago we lost a great south carolinian with the passing of governor james edwards. as governor as secretary of energy, and later as the president of musc, he spent a huge part of his life serving others and cemented a place in our state's history as a man we can all look up to. as we all know, it is impossible to be as strong and significant as he was without the support of a loving family. tonight i have the great privilege of introducing to you his incredible wife, mrs. ann edwards. mrs. edwards asked that i thank you, members of the general assembly, as well as the people of south carolina for the tremendous support you gave governor edwards during his full life and that you've given her since his passing. mrs. edwards, thank you for your service and for sharing your wonderful husband with us. you and your family will forever be appreciated by the citizens of south carolina. nobody has represented us with more dignity than lance corporal kyle carpenter. we wer

for me it's going to be a struggle. >> the domestic abuse center runs batterers groups across south carolina. here in oconee county in the far northwest, they work with sheriff mike crenshaw, who says part of the problem is a culture of silence. >> with being in the deep south, traditionally when you think of domestic violence, it was for so many years, it's been a topic that no body wanted to discuss. you don't need to talk about this with your pastor, or if you did you were told to go back home. ya'll need to work this out. we've got to change this culture. it's not going to be overnight. >> back to back murder-suicides over the 4th of july weekend in 2012 were a turning point for this quiet, rural community. >> it's this brick home right here... >> this one? >> yes, this is the incident location where marge, the victim, in the summer of 2012 was murdered by her husband, and then he committed suicide inside the home. marge putnam was shot by her husband of 38 years after she decided to leave him. >> i think she probably thought she had reached the point where she was strong enough to stand

i said in november i was speaking to a group in south carolina. i said that for every 50 cent reduction in the price of a gallon of gasoline means about a $10 savings for moms and dads per 20-gallon fill-up. we're well below a 50 cent reduction now. we're well below a dollar, so that's a $20 savings, and some are realizing $26 savings per fill-up. think about how that translates for moms and dads in this country. how many times do you fill up in a week? two, three, four times? $100 a week savings for moms and dads? that's real money to be spent in the economy. that's real money to be spent in entertaining, that's real money that could be spent purchasing the goods and services the economy has, or money to be put in the bank to replenish a lot of the lost savings after 2008. when i think about the fact energy touches every congressional district, every state and every american, i think about the uranium that's mined in wyoming being used in a nuclear power plant in oconi county, south carolina. or i think about the electricity that that power plant

the problem is it is not in south carolina's best interests. so i will not support more revenue for our roads and bridges until we restructure the department of transportation. simply shipping more money into the current bureaucracy would be like blasting water through a leaky hose. some of it would reach the right destination but too much of it would end up in a mess on the ground. i won't do it. that said deficient roads and highways are an economic issue. that is why we supported a billion dollars in new road funds last year which was the biggest infrastructure investment in a generation. are it is why we propose in our executive budget dedicating an additional 61 million in auto sales tax funds entirely to roads. but we know that is not enough. we still have very substantial infrastructure revenue needs that have to be addressed. we have studied every option. some have advocated raising the state gas tax. yes, we do have the third lowest gas tax in america. gas prices are now down to their lowest level since 2009. non south carolinians who
