"Governor Perry, here in Texas, has embarked on a demented scheme to convert all of our freeways into toll roads"
"That is a complete flat out lie."
See my post just below, apology accepted in advance.
Reread your own article, it contradicts 95% of what you have claimed.
The only thing that slightly matches is that an existing section of a single Houston area freeway, Hwy 249, was proposed for conversion to a toll road(while the frontage roads would remain free and offer a free travel alternative the entire length) There is a reason that your source is 6 months old, and that is because this idea has been shot down. Gov. Perry has since come out against tolling existing mainlanes of freeways.
