"Bring back Ike and make him Project Manager in Chief!"

Great posting. We could EASILY afford to upgrade the system to meet current needs and it would be much cheaper (in a relative sense) than it cost to build back then. But when you've got a gas tax that can't even index to inflation and a psycho governor, we get this result in Texas.

I love this state, but unless this plan is stopped, I'm out of here once I can get a job transfer.

(and to you Texas toll road lovers, don't get your hopes up, I'll still be researching and commenting on Texas)

As a native Texan, they'll take my toll tax when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. Wanna know how much I despise toll roads? I work in Plano and I drive the service road, with all the lights, every day just to keep from donating to the Man. I got my fill of toll raods when I lived in New Jersey, California and, yes, even my beloved Oklahoma.

I have no problem with tolls as long as there is an expiration date. It is the idea of taxation without representation or taxes redirected to non-road related expenditures that sticks in my craw. Who says it isn't important to vote in local elections?
