If the Dallas North Tollway receipts hadn't been used to fund other Dallas area toll projects, either the George Bush Turnpike would not have been built, or taxes would have had to be raised to pay for it. Which would you prefer?

The George Bush Turnpike takes its own tolls. I don't think Dallas has any problem getting loans to fund new highways until they can take tolls to pay it off.

Let's do a little research and see where all those tolls go. I'll have to bet they don't all get used on roads. Besides....they take road fees out of each and every auto registration we pay for.

I think it should be privatized and competition allowed.
