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.

"Reread your own article, it contradicts 95% of what you have claimed."

This was his beginning (i.e., baby step), and it's 100% with his overall plan. It did get killed, because thousands of people angrily protested it. But ask yourself this question: If it was such a bad idea - what kind of governor and administration do we have in Texas - that they would be so out of touch as to even propose it? That's why he needs to be thrown out.

Regarding other conversions. Maybe he stated that he now opposes the concept, but he sure as heck has not updated his plan to remove it - go see the DOT website yourself - it's still there.

So I am still very, very, suspicious of him.
