The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Commission on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015, elected Jim Rozier of the 1st Congressional District as the new Chairman of the SCDOT Commission.
The Commission also elected Mike Wooten of the 7th Congressional District as the new Vice Chairman of the SCDOT Commission.
Rozier, a Berkeley County native, was elected in 1990 as Berkeley County Supervisor, and re-elected in 1994, 1998 and 2002.
Prior to 1990, he spent 30 years in corporate management and operation of small businesses. He now manages several businesses under The Rozier Group LLC.
Rozier attended Clemson University; completed the Institute of Government at the University of South Carolina; and attended the civilian session of the United States War College.
Wooten, of Murrells Inlet, is the Founding Partner and the Principal Engineer of DDC Engineers, Inc., a Myrtle Beach based consulting engineering firm specializing in land planning, landscape architecture, environmental planning, land surveying and civil engineering.
Prior to founding DDC Engineers, Inc., in 1986, Wooten was employed by Santee Cooper where he was responsible for the upkeep of 42 miles of dams.
He also served as the liaison with the US Army Corps of Engineers and South Carolina Congressional Delegation for the state owned utility.
He has a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from The Citadel in 1977.

I congratulate Mr Rozier, and thank him and Robbie Metts for their support in assisting me in creating jobs in the Charleston area. As a suggestion to the SCDOT, I’d recommend that Berkeley County Sheriff Office employee vehicles be fitted with breathylyzers fitted to their ignition systems. If possible, routine polygraph testing and mandated return of victimized citizens phone calls would be a big plus too. These “no brainer” controls may just prevent Berkeley County from being bankrupted by the actions of our self serving public servants.
Signed, another Berkeley County victim
