How much has the Texas gas tax increased in the past 15 years?

Hint - zero.


How much buying power does the Texas gas tax have today, versus 15 years ago?

Hint - about half.


You already got your way, and the traffic sucks. Now we have psycho-governor who's selling out control of our highways system with contracts that almost certainly contain non-compete clauses.

Thanks much.

"contracts that almost certainly contain non-compete clauses"

What does "almost certainly" mean?

How much money was diverted/robbed/stolen out of the highway fund/taxes to pay for arts/culture projects?

Was the figure WOAI/San Antonio mentioned in the neighborhood of $2 Billion with a B? Do you think, a couple of Billion here, couple of Billion there, and pretty soon there would be enough nmoney to build roads?
