Texas, U.S. must fund road infrastructure - Express-News Editorial Board
Seems there's a problem......Maybe it's time for another solution -- like the one the "environmentalists" killed that's strangling business and commerce.
This editorial board is calling for more taxes (they say Perry won't). Perry's knocked for the "TTC" but those who use it as a "bad" mark against Perry, don't know beans about it (or -- haven't bothered to learn enough to make a good argument against it).
Yes, building roads is one of the few legitimate government functions... but if you are going to fund it with tolls, eliminate the gas tax and fund all roads with tolls. I am sick of politicians picking and choosing who has to pay tolls on top of the gas tax and who only has to pay the gas tax. McDonnell is pulling the same toll happy crap here in VA, but worse, he is even slapping new tolls on existing toll free roads.
